MCQ

Given below are two statements:

Statement$-I :$ An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable.

Statement$-II :$ Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

A
Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false
✓
Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
C
Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
D
Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false

b
When elevator is moving with uniform speed $T = F _{ g }$

Statement$-2$

When elevator is going down with increasing speed, its acceleration is downward.

Hence

$W - N =\frac{ W }{ g } \times a$

$N = W \left(1-\frac{ a }{ g }\right) \text { i.e. less than weight. }$

When the masses are released under gravity they make collision with $A$ and $B$ with coefficient of restitution $0.8$ and $0.4$ respectively. The time after the collision when the string becomes tight is :- (Assume $H>>l$)
