Three blocks of masses $m_1, m_2$ and $m_3$, with $m_1 \lt m_2 \lt m_3$, are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless, horizontal surface, as shown. A constant horizontal force $F$ is applied to $m_1$ as shown. If the three masses are in the ratio of $1:2:3$, what is the ratio of the contact forces of the two heavier blocks, i.e, $F_2:F_3$?

The device shown here is called an Atwood's machine. m$_1$ and m$_2$ are suspended at the ends of a string of negligible mass passing over a friction-less pulley as shown here. What is the acceleration in the light cord that connects the two masses if $\;m_1 = 2 m_2$?

A cord passing over a frictionless, massless pulley (Atwood's machine) has a $m_2 =$ 10-kg block tied to one end and a $m_1 =$ 12-kg block tied to the other. If at the end of 3 seconds the string is cut, find the distances moved by the masses $d_1$ and $d_2$ in the next 6 seconds.

The system on the left shown here is called an Atwood's machine. m$_1$ and m$_2$ are suspended at the ends of a string of negligible mass passing over a friction-less pulley as shown here. The system on the right just has a hanging mass m. What should m be in terms of m$_1$ and m$_2$ so that the tension in the top string is the same in both cases? Assume that the two systems have equal downward acceleration (a').
