Common Content for Question No. 1 to 2

Infinite or deeply nested pulley-mass system become computationally complex using standard string-
constraint equations. Instead, they can be efficiently analysed using the principle of self-similarity.
For a massless, frictionless pulley supporting a mass m1 on one side and an effective load m2 on the
other, the local dynamics determine both string tension and the effective mass Meff supported by
the pulleys axle. When a system exhibits recursive geometric scaling, the entire infinite subsystem
hanging below a specific node can be replaced by a single equivalent mass M. Because the chain is
infinite, stripping or scaling the topmost layer leaves the remaining subsystem structurally identical
to the original framework, scaled precisely by a geometric factor.

find acceleration of topmost pulley.

Range of (x2 – 1)2 + 3 = [3, ∞) and range of

& cos(ax2 + bx + c) = –1
when; x = 1;
cos(a + b + c) = –1 ⇒ a + b + c = π, 3π
when; x = –1;
cos(a – b + c) = –1 ⇒ a – b + c = π, 3π
as a, b, c ∈ (2, 5)
