MCQ
The weight of man in a lift moving with same acceleration upwards is $608\,N$ , while the weight of the same man in the life moving down wards with the same acceleration is $368\,N$ . His normal weight is ............ $N$
  • A
    $480$
  • $488$
  • C
    $588$
  • D
    $240$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$488$
b
When the life accelerates at a upwards

$m(g+a)=608$           $...(1)$

when the lift accelerates at a downwards

$m(g-a)=368$            $...(2)$

eq. $(1)+$ eq. $( 2)$

$\Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{mg}=608+368$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{mg}=\frac{976}{2}=488 \mathrm{N}$

A particle of mass $m$ is attached to a light string of length $l$, the other end of which is fixed. Initially the string is kept horizontal and the particle is given an upward velocity $v.$ The particle is just able to complete a circle.
  1. The string becomes slack when the particle reaches its highest point.
  2. The velocity of the particle become zero at the highest point.
  3. The kinetic energy of the ball in initial position was $\frac{1}{2}\text{m}\nu^2=\text{mgl}.$
  4. The particle again passes through the initial position.
A thin uniform rod of length $L$ and certain mass is kept on a frictionless horizontal table with a massless string of length $L$ fixed to one end (top view is shown in the figure). The other end of the string is pivoted to a point $O$. If a horizontal impulse $P$ is imparted to the rod at a distance $x=L / n$ from the mid-point of the rod (see figure), then the rod and string revolve together around the point $O$, with the rod remaining aligned with the string. In such a case, the value of $n$ is. . . . . .
