Imagine 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 $kg$)

  • A
    $70$
  • B
    $85$
  • C
    $72$
  • D
    $65$

Three masses $M = 100 \, kg$,$m_{1} = 10 \, kg$,and $m_{2} = 20 \, kg$ are arranged in a system as shown in the figure. All the surfaces are frictionless and strings are inextensible and weightless. The pulleys are also weightless and frictionless. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the system so that the mass $m_{2}$ moves upward with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^{2}$. The value of $F$ is $...... \, N$. (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$)
