  • A
    $\frac{64}{3}\,N$
  • B
    $\frac{32}{3}\,N$
  • C

$A$ person of $60 \,kg$ mass is in a lift which is coming down such that the man exerts a force of $150 \,N$ on the floor of the lift. Then the acceleration of the lift is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ man weighing $60 \text{ kg}$ is in a lift moving down with an acceleration of $1.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$. The force exerted by the floor on him is:

$A$ box of mass $m \, kg$ is placed on the rear side of an open truck accelerating at $4 \, m/s^2$. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface below it is $0.4$. The net acceleration of the box with respect to the truck is zero. The value of $m$ is $[g = 10 \, m/s^2]$.

$A$ 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 $a$. Then:
