$A$ lift is accelerating downward with an acceleration $a$. $A$ man inside the lift throws a ball upward with an acceleration $a_0$ relative to the lift $(a_0 < a)$. What is the acceleration of the ball as observed by an observer on the Earth?

  • A
    $(a + a_0)$ upward
  • B
    $(a - a_0)$ upward
  • C
    $(a + a_0)$ downward
  • D
    $(a - a_0)$ downward

$A$ 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 $24 \text{ N}$.

$A$ container of mass $m$ is pulled by a constant force $F$. Inside the container,a second block of the same mass $m$ is placed,connected to the wall by a massless spring of constant $k$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Find the velocity of the container at the instant the compression in the spring is maximum for the first time.
