On a stationary sail-boat,air is blown at the sails from a fan attached to the boat. The boat will

$A$ ball of mass $0.1\, kg$ is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $1\, m$ by means of a string at an initial speed of $10\, rpm$. Keeping the radius constant,the tension in the string is reduced to one-quarter of its initial value. The new speed is ....... $rpm$.

$A$ solid ball is suspended from the ceiling of a motor car through a light string. $A$ transverse pulse travels at the speed $60 \text{ cm/s}$ on the string, when the car is at rest. When the car accelerates on a horizontal road, the speed of the pulse is $66 \text{ cm/s}$. The acceleration of the car is nearly $\left(g=10 \text{ m/s}^2\right)$ (in $\text{ m/s}^2$)

On a pulley of mass $M$ hangs a rope with two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ $(m_{1} > m_{2})$ tied at the ends as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates without any friction,whereas the friction between the rope and the pulley is large enough to prevent any slipping. Which of the following plots best represents the difference between the tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley as a function of the mass of the pulley?

$A$ parachutist of weight $w$ strikes the ground with his legs fixed and comes to rest with an upward acceleration of magnitude $3g$. The force exerted on him by the ground during landing is:
