Two chains are available to hold up an object. A student arranges the object and either one or two chains according to the diagrams shown here. In which arrangement is the tension in any one chain the least?

Aman tries to push a box of mass 4 kg with a force of 5 n but the box remains stationary if the coefficient of static friction is 0.45, what is the value of the maximum force of friction?

What is the power rating of the lightbulb if 3.0 a flow through it when connected to a 15 v battery

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
