A system of two blocks of masses m = 2 kg and M = 8 kg is placed on a smooth table as shown in figure. The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is 0.5. The maximum horizontal force F that can be applied to the block of mass M so that the blocks move together will be :

In the arrangement shown in figure a₁, a₂, a₃ and a₄ are the accelerations of masses m₁, m₂, m₃ and m₄ respectively. Which of the following relation is true for this arrangement?

A person is standing in an elevator. In which situation, he experiences weight loss?

An object of mass 5 kg is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. The air resistance produces a constant retarding force of 10 N throughout the motion. The ratio of time of ascent to the time of descent will be equal to : [Use g = 10 ms^$$-$$2].
