A rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is acted on by two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2 (< F_1 )$ as shown in the following figure.The tension in the rod at a distance $y$ from the end $A$ is given by

Two particles of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2a$ . The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $'a'$ from the centre $P$ (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$ . As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes $2x$ , is

Three forces starts acting simultaneously on a particle moving with velocity $\vec v.$ These forces are represented in magnitude and direction by the three sides of a triangle $ABC$ (as shown). The particle will now move with velocity
