$A$ man is standing on a weighing machine placed in a lift. When stationary,his weight is recorded as $40 \, kg$. If the lift is accelerated upwards with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^2$,then the weight recorded in the machine will be .......... $kg$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ metallic rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is moving under the action of two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ (directed opposite to each other) acting at its ends along its length. Ignore gravity and any external magnetic field. If the specific charge of electrons is $(e/m)$,then the potential difference between the ends of the rod in steady state must be:
