$A$ balloon with mass $m$ is descending down with an acceleration $a$ (where $a < g$). How much mass should be removed from it so that it starts moving up with an acceleration $a$?

  • A
    $\frac{2ma}{g + a}$
  • B
    $\frac{2ma}{g - a}$
  • C
    $\frac{ma}{g + a}$
  • D

$A$ block of mass $0.18 \ kg$ is attached to a spring of force-constant $2 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is $0.1$. Initially,the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of $0.06 \ m$ and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in $m/s$ is $v = N/10$. Then $N$ is:
