  • A
    $\frac{g}{\sqrt{l^2-1}}$
  • B
    $g \sqrt{l^2-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{l^2-1}}{g}$
  • D
    $-\frac{g}{\sqrt{l^2+1}}$

$A$ boy having a mass equal to $40 \, kg$ is standing in an elevator. The force felt by the feet of the boy (apparent weight) will be greatest when the elevator $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$:

The apparent weight of a body,when it is travelling upwards with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$ and its mass is $10 \ kg$,will be ......... $N$.

Inside a horizontally moving box,an experimenter finds that when an object is placed on a smooth horizontal table and is released,it moves with an acceleration of $10\,m/s^2$. In this box,if a $1\,kg$ body is suspended with a light string,the tension in the string in the equilibrium position (with respect to the experimenter) will be $.........\,N$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

$A$ simple pendulum is attached to a block which slides without friction down an inclined plane $ABC$ having an angle of inclination $\alpha$ as shown below. While the block is sliding down,the pendulum oscillates in such a way that at its mean position,the direction of the string is
