  • A
    the work done by gravity is zero
  • B

$A$ person sitting inside an elevator performs a weighing experiment with an object of mass $50 \ kg$. Suppose that the variation of the height $y$ (in $m$) of the elevator,from the ground,with time $t$ (in $s$) is given by $y = 8[1 + \sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{T})]$,where $T = 40 \pi \ s$. Taking acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,the maximum variation of the object's weight (in $N$) as observed in the experiment is $.....$ .

Three masses $M = 100 \, kg$,$m_{1} = 10 \, kg$,and $m_{2} = 20 \, kg$ are arranged in a system as shown in the figure. All the surfaces are frictionless and strings are inextensible and weightless. The pulleys are also weightless and frictionless. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the system so that the mass $m_{2}$ moves upward with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^{2}$. The value of $F$ is $...... \, N$. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)

The weight of a man in a stationary lift is $w_1$ and when it is moving downwards with uniform acceleration $a$ is $w_2$. If the ratio $w_1 : w_2 = 4 : 3$,then the value of $a$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).
