MCQ
Choose the correct statement/ (s):
  • A
    Weight of a body is greater on planes and less on hill tops.
  • B
    Weight of a body is greater at the poles and less at the equator.
  • C
    Weight of a body on the moon is less than that on the earth.
  • D
    Weight of a body on the moon is same as that at a height, equal to radius of moon from the surface of earth.

Answer

  1. Weight of a body is greater on planes and less on hill tops.
  2. Weight of a body is greater at the poles and less at the equator.
  3. Weight of a body on the moon is less than that on the earth.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is greater on planes than on hill top. g is greater at poles than at the equator. g is less on moon than on the earth.

$A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$  What is the period of the motion?
