Important Questions on Newton's Laws of Motion (Without Friction)
Three blocks , and having masses and , respectively, are arranged as shown in figure. The pulleys and are light and frictionless. All the blocks are resting on a horizontal floor and the pulleys are held such that strings remain just taut. At moment a force starts acting on pulley along vertically upward direction as shown in the figure. Take .
Regarding the times when the blocks lose contact with ground, which is correct?

In the system shown in figure, . The system is held at rest by thread . Now thread is burnt. Answer the following;
Before burning the thread, what are the tensions in spring and thread , respectively?

Two blocks of masses and are connected with a light spring of force constant and the whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface. The masses are applied forces and as shown in figure. At any time, the blocks have same acceleration but in opposite directions. Now answer the following.
The value of is

A mass is suspended as shown in the figure. The system is in equilibrium. Assume pulleys to be massless. is the force constant of the spring.
The extension produced in the spring is given by


The elevator shown in figure is descending with an acceleration of . The mass of the block, . Find the force (in Newton) exerted by block on block .

Figure represents a painter in a crate which hangs alongside a building. When the painter of mass pulls the rope, the force exerted by him on the floor of the crate is . If the crate weighs , find the acceleration (in ) of the painter.

A block is placed on an inclined plane moving towards right horizontally with an acceleration . The length of the plane . Friction is absent everywhere. Find the time taken (in seconds) by the block to reach from to .
