$A$ mass is hanging on a spring balance which is kept in a lift. The lift ascends with an acceleration. The spring balance will show in its readings:

  • A
    an increase
  • B
    a decrease
  • C
    no change
  • D
    a change depending on its velocity

$A$ person of $60 \,kg$ mass is in a lift which is coming down such that the man exerts a force of $150 \,N$ on the floor of the lift. Then the acceleration of the lift is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

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 $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination $\theta$. The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity) will be

An object of mass $5\, kg$ is attached to the hook of a spring balance and the balance is suspended vertically from the roof of a lift. The reading of the spring balance when the lift is going up with an acceleration of $0.25\, m/s^2$ is ......... $N$ $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

In the figure,the reading of the spring balance will be $......\,N$ $\left[ g = 10\,m/s^2 \right]$.
