$A$ spring balance and a physical balance are kept in a lift. In these balances,equal masses are placed. If the lift starts moving upwards with constant acceleration,then:
- AThe reading of the spring balance will increase and the equilibrium position of the physical balance will be disturbed.
- BThe reading of the spring balance will remain unchanged and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
- CThe reading of the spring balance will decrease and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
- DThe reading of the spring balance will increase and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.

$A$ rocket is moving in a gravity-free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \ ms^{-2}$ along the $+x$ direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4 \ m$. $A$ ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in the $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3 \ ms^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time,another ball is thrown in the $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2 \ ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:
$A$ person in an elevator accelerating upwards with an acceleration of $2\,ms^{-2}$,tosses a coin vertically upwards with a speed of $20\,ms^{-1}$. After how much time will the coin fall back into his hand? (Take $g = 10\,ms^{-2}$)

The readings shown in two extended spring balances,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are $60\,kg$ and $30\,kg$ respectively. The lift is accelerating upward with an acceleration of $10\,m/s^2$. The mass $m$ is stationary with respect to the lift. Then the mass of the block will be ......... $kg$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)

View SolutionImagine a person standing on a weighing machine placed inside an elevator. The elevator first accelerates, then moves with a constant velocity, and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and minimum weight recorded are $80 \ kg$ and $64 \ kg$, respectively. Find out the true mass of that person considering $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. (in $kg$)
