MCQ
Figure shows a heavy block kept on a frictionless surface and being pulled by two ropes of equal mass $m.$
 At $t = 0,$ the force on the left rope is withdrawn but the
force on the right end continues to act.
Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be the magnitudes of the forces by the right rope and the left rope on the block respectively:
  • $F_{1 }= F_2 = F$ for $t < 0.$
  • B
    $F_1 = F_2 = F + mg$ for $t < 0.$
  • C
    $F_1= F, F_2 = F$ for $t > 0.$
  • D
    $F_1< F, F_2 = F$ for $t > 0.$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$F_{1 }= F_2 = F$ for $t < 0.$
At $t < 0,$ the block is in equilibrium in the horizontal direction.
So, $F_1= F_2 = F$
At $t > 0, F_2= 0$ and $F_1= F.$

Mrs. Rashmi Singh broke her reading glasses. When she went to the shopkeeper to order new spects, he suggested that she should get spectacles with plastic lenses instead of glass lenses. On getting the new spectacles, she found that the new ones were thicker than the earlier ones. She asked this question to the shopkeeper but he could not offer satisfactory explanation for this. At home, Mrs. Singh raised the same question to her daughter Anuja who explained why plastic lenses were thicker.

It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. $A$ small flat search coil of area $2\ cm^2$ with $25$ closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick $90^\circ$ turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction. The total charge flown in the coil $($measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil$)$ is $7.5mC$. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is $0.50\Omega$ .
