$A$ heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass $m$ $(m \ll M)$. When the car is at rest,the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60 \, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$,the wave-speed increases to $60.5 \, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$,in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$,is closest to:

  • A
    $\frac{g}{30}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{10}$
  • C
    $\frac{g}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{g}{20}$

When a body moves with some friction on a surface,

One end of a spring of force constant $150 \text{ dyne cm}^{-1}$ is connected to a block of mass $0.2 \text{ kg}$ kept on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.3$. The other end of the spring is connected to a rigid support as shown in the figure and the spring is initially undeformed. The maximum velocity $v$ that can be given to the block so that it travels only in one direction is . . . . . . $\text{ms}^{-1}$. (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

Statement $I :$ $A$ cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of $7 \, km/h$ and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of radius $2 \, m$ without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is $0.2$. The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$.
Statement $II :$ If the road is banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$,the cyclist can cross the curve of $2 \, m$ radius with a speed of $18.5 \, km/h$ without slipping.
