Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction, as shown in figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$ -axis with $a_0$, then If $a_{min}$ and $a_{max}$ are the minimum and maximum values of $a_0$ for which the blocks remain stationary with respect to the surface, then identify the correct statements

37-708

  • A

    If $a_0 < a_{min}$, the block $m$ accelerates downward

  • B

    If $a_0 > a_{max}$, the block $m$ accelerates upward

  • C

    The block $m$ does not accelerate up or down when $a_{min} \leq a_0 \leq a_{max}$

  • D

    All of the above

In the arrangement shown in the fig, the block of mass $m=2\,kg$ lies on the wedge on mass $M=8\,kg$. Find the initial acceleration of the wedge if the surfaces are smooth and pulley and strings are massless.

Block $C$ of mass $m$ as shown in figure. Find the acceleration of block $B$.

A uniform metal chain of mass $m$ and length ' $L$ ' passes over a massless and frictionless pulley. It is released from rest with a part of its length ' $l$ ' is hanging on one side and rest of its length ' $L -l$ ' is hanging on the other side of the pulley. At a certain point of time, when $l=\frac{L}{x}$, the acceleration of the chain is $\frac{g}{2}$. The value of $x$ is ........
