$A$ spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. $A$ man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring reads $49 \, N$,when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of $5 \, m/s^2$,the reading of the spring balance will be .......... $N$.

  • A
    $49$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $74$

$A$ coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time $t_1$ to reach the floor when the lift is stationary. It takes time $t_2$ when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration $a$. Then:

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.
Statement-$II$: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ wire is bent into the shape of a parabola given by $Y = Kx^2$. $A$ bead of mass $m$ is placed on the wire,which can slide on it without friction. Initially,when the wire is at rest,the bead is at the lowest point of the parabola. If the wire is now moved with a constant acceleration $a$ parallel to the $X$-axis,what will be the distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead from the $Y$-axis,such that it remains stationary relative to the wire?
