In the situation shown in figure all the string are light and inextensible and pullies are light. There is no friction at any surface. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to right most free end of string in both casses of fig. 1 and 2 as shown. At the instant shown, the tension in all strings are non zero. Let the magnitude of acceleration of large blocks (of mass M) in fig. 1 and fig. 2 are ${\mathrm{a}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{a}}_2$ respectively. Then Smooth horizontal surface figure-1 Smooth horizontal surface figure-2
