A string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass \(m\) supports a block of mass \(M\) as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by:
 
1. \(\sqrt{2} M g\)
2. \(\sqrt{2} m g\)
3. \(g\sqrt{\left( M + m \right)^{2} + m^{2}}\)
4. \(g\sqrt{\left(M + m \right)^{2} + M^{2}}\)

A pulley fixed to the ceilling carries a string with blocks of mass m and 3 m attached to its ends. The masses of string and pulley are negligible. When the system is released, its centre of mass moves with what acceleration 

(1) 0

(2) g/4

(3) g/2

(4) –g/2

A block \(B\) is placed on top of block \(A\). The mass of block \(B\) is less than the mass of block \(A\). Friction exists between the blocks, whereas the ground on which block \(A\) is placed is assumed to be smooth. A horizontal force \(F\), increasing linearly with time begins to act on \(B\). The acceleration \(a_A\) and \(a_B\) of blocks \(A\) and \(B\) respectively are plotted against \(t\). The correctly plotted graph is:

The force-time (F – t) curve of a particle executing linear motion is as shown in the figure. The momentum acquired by the particle in time interval from zero to 8 second will be

(3) 6 N-s

(4) Zero

A body of 2 kg has an initial speed 5ms^–1. A force acts on it for some time in the direction of motion. The force time graph is shown in figure. The final speed of the body.

(1) 9.25 ms^–1

(2) 5 ms^–1

(3) 14.25 ms^–1

(4) 4.25 ms^–1

A particle of mass m, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force F for a brief interval of time T. It begins to move with a velocity u after the force stops acting. F is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is an ellipse.

(1) $u=\frac{\pi F_0^2}{2m}$

(2) $u=\frac{\pi T^2}{8m}$

(3) $u=\frac{\pi F_{0}T}{4m}$

(4) $u=\frac{F_{0}T}{2m}$

A body of mass 3kg is acted upon by a force which varies as shown in the graph below. The momentum acquired is given by
