$A$ spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. $A$ man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring balance reads $49 \,N$, when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of $5 \,m/s^2$, the reading of the spring balance will be $(g = 9.8 \,m/s^2)$. (in $\,N$)

$A$ child stands on a weighing machine inside a lift. When the lift is going down with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the machine shows a reading $20 \ N$. When the lift goes upwards with acceleration $\frac{g}{3}$,the reading would be ($g=$ gravitational acceleration). (in $N$)

$A$ vehicle is moving with a constant speed of $10 \ m/s$ on a circular horizontal track of radius $20 \ m$. $A$ bob is suspended from the roof of the vehicle by a massless string. The angle made by the string with the vertical will be (acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$).

$A$ car is moving with a uniform speed on a level road. Inside the car,there is a balloon filled with helium and attached to a piece of string tied to the floor. The string is observed to be vertical. The car now takes a left turn while maintaining the same speed on the level road. The balloon in the car will:
