A light string fixed at one end to a clamp on ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs at the other side. It makes an angle of $30^o$ with the ground. A monkey of mass $5\ kg$ climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of $40\ N$ only. The maximum acceleration in upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is ............ $m/s^2$ (neglect friction and take $g = 10\ m / s^2$ )

A block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A block $Q$ of same mass is placed over the block $P$ and the coefficient of static friction between them is ${\mu _S}$. A spring of spring constant $K$ is attached to block $Q$. The blocks are displaced together to a distance $A$ and released. The upper block oscillates without slipping over the lower block. The maximum frictional force between the block is

A rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \ ms ^{-2}$ along $+x$ direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4 \ m$. A ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3 \ ms ^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time, another ball is thrown in $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2 \ ms ^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:
