MCQ
A block of mass $M$ placed inside a box descends vertically with acceleration $'a'$. The block exerts a force equal to one-fourth of its weight on the floor of the box. The value of $'a'$ will be .............
  • A
    $\frac{g}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{2}$
  • $\frac{3 g }{4}$
  • D
    $g$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{3 g }{4}$
c
$m g-N=m a$

$a=g-\frac{g}{4}$

$a=\frac{3 g}{4}$
