Two masses $${m_1} = 5kg$$ and $${m_2} = 4.8kg$$ tied to a string are hanging over a light frictionless pulley. What is the acceleration of the masses when left free to move? $$\left( {g = 9.8m/{s^2}} \right)$$

A block rests on a rough inclined plane `making an angle of $${30^ \circ }$$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $$0.8.$$ If the frictionless force on the block is $$10$$ $$N,$$ the mass of the block (in $$kg$$) is $$\left( {take\,\,\,g\, = \,10\,\,m/{s^2}} \right)$$

A horizontal force of $$10$$ $$N$$ is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is $$0.2$$. The weight of the block is

A light spring balance hangs from the hook of the other light spring balance and a block of mass $$M$$ $$kg$$ hangs from the former one. Then the true statement about the scale reading is
