$A$ 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 $\frac{5}{3}\, m/s$ during the time interval of $3\, s$. The angle that the thread will deviate from the vertical in the new equilibrium position is:

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)$
  • B
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)$
  • D
    $\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)$

$A$ plank is moving in a horizontal direction with a constant acceleration $a \hat{i}$. $A$ uniform rough cubical block of side $l$ rests on the plank and is at rest relative to the plank. Let the centre of mass of the block be at $(0, l/2)$ at a given instant. If $a = g/10$,then the normal reaction exerted by the plank on the block at that instant acts at

$A$ man weighing $60 \text{ kg}$ is in a lift moving down with an acceleration of $1.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$. The force exerted by the floor on him is:

$A$ body of mass $2\, kg$ is hung on a spring balance mounted vertically in a lift. If the lift moves up with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity $g$,the reading on the spring balance will be .......... $kg$.

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).
