$A$ mass is hanging on a spring balance which is kept in a lift. The lift ascends with an acceleration. The spring balance will show in its readings:

  • A
    an increase
  • B
    a decrease
  • C
    no change
  • D
    a change depending on its velocity

An object of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed at rest in a frame $S_1$ moving with velocity $10 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \, m/s$ and having acceleration $5 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} \, m/s^2$. The object is also seen by an observer standing in a frame $S_2$ moving with velocity $5 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} \, m/s$. Calculate the net force acting on the object with respect to the $S_2$ frame.

$A$ lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $m$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,then the frictional resistance offered by the body is:

$A$ container of mass $m$ is pulled by a constant force $F$. Inside the container,a second block of the same mass $m$ is placed,connected to the wall by a massless spring of constant $k$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Find the velocity of the container at the instant the compression in the spring is maximum for the first time.

$A$ coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time $t_1$ to reach the floor when the lift is stationary. It takes time $t_2$ when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration. Then:

The weight of a man in a lift moving upward is $608 \ N$,while the weight of the same man in the lift moving downward with the same acceleration is $368 \ N$. His normal weight is ............ $N$.
