Imagine a person standing on a weighing machine placed inside an elevator. The elevator first accelerates, then moves with a constant velocity, and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and minimum weight recorded are $80 \ kg$ and $64 \ kg$, respectively. Find out the true mass of that person considering $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. (in $kg$)

  • A
    $70$
  • B
    $85$
  • C
    $72$
  • D
    $65$

$A$ wedge $Y$ with mass of $10 \text{ kg}$ has all frictionless surfaces, and the inclined surface makes an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. $A$ block $X$ with mass $2 \text{ kg}$ is placed at the highest point of the wedge as shown in the figure and is at rest. At $t=0$, the wedge $Y$ is pulled toward the right with a constant force $f$ of $24 \text{ N}$. Taking the block $X$ at rest at $t=0$, the time taken by it to slide down $8.8 \text{ m}$ on the slope, while $Y$ is in motion, is . . . . . . s. (Take $\tan(37^{\circ}) = 3/4$ and $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ ball is suspended on a thread from the ceiling of a car. The brakes are applied and the speed of the car changes from $5 \, m/s$ to $5/3 \, m/s$ during a time interval of $3 \, s$. Find the angle $\theta$ that the thread will deviate from the vertical.

$A$ person standing on a spring balance inside a stationary lift measures $60 \, kg$. The weight of that person if the lift descends with a uniform downward acceleration of $1.8 \, m/s^{2}$ will be $_{-} N$. $[g = 10 \, m/s^{2}]$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is resting on a wedge of angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The wedge is given a horizontal acceleration $a$. What is the minimum value of $a$ so that the mass $m$ falls freely?

Inside a horizontally moving box,an experimenter finds that when an object is placed on a smooth horizontal table and is released,it moves with an acceleration of $10\,m/s^2$. In this box,if a $1\,kg$ body is suspended with a light string,the tension in the string in the equilibrium position (with respect to the experimenter) will be $.........\,N$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
