A person standing on a spring balance inside a stationary lift measures $60 \,kg$. The weight of that person if the lift descends with uniform downward acceleration of $1.8\, m / s ^{2}$ will be $_{-} N$. $\left[ g =10\, m / s ^{2}\right]$

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are suspended as shown in the figure. Mass of each blocks $A$ and $C$ is $m$. If system is in equilibrium and mass of $B$ is $M$, then :
The persistence of sound in a room after the source of sound is turned off is called reverberation. The measure of reverberation time is the time required for sound intensity to decrease by $60 \,dB$. It is given that the intensity of sound falls off as $I_0 \exp \left(-c_1 \alpha\right)$ where $I_0$ is the initial intensity, $c_1$ is a dimensionless constant with value $1 / 4$. Here, $\alpha$ is a positive constant which depends on the speed of sound, volume of the room, reverberation time, and the effective absorbing area $A_e$. The value of $A_e$ is the product of absorbing coefficient (with value between $0$ and $1,1$ being a perfect absorber) and the area of the room. For a concert hall of volume $600 \,m ^3$, the value of $A_e$ (in $m ^2$ ) required to give a reverberation time of $1 s$ is closest to (speed of sound in air $=340 \,m / s$ )
