$A$ packet of weight $W$ dropped from a parachute strikes the ground and comes to rest with retardation equal to twice the acceleration due to gravity. The force exerted on the ground is

$A$ man pulls a block heavier than himself with a light horizontal rope. The coefficient of friction is the same between the man and the ground,and between the block and the ground.

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: If you push on a cart being pulled by a horse so that it does not move,the cart pushes you back with an equal and opposite force.
Statement $2$: The cart does not move because the forces described in Statement $1$ cancel each other.

If the overbridge is concave instead of being convex,the thrust on the road at the lowest position will be

Two blocks $1$ and $2$ of equal mass $m$ are connected by an ideal string over a frictionless pulley. The blocks are attached to the ground by springs having spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $k_1 > k_2$. Initially,both springs are unstretched. Block $1$ is slowly pulled down a distance $x$ and released. Just after the release,the possible values of the magnitudes of the accelerations of the blocks $a_1$ and $a_2$ can be

If $M_2 = 2M_1$ and $\theta = 30^\circ$,the acceleration of $M_2$ is $a$. If the positions of the blocks are interchanged,what will be the acceleration of $M_2$?
