Important Questions on Laws of Motion
A flexible chain of weight hangs between two fixed points and at the same level. The inclination of the chain with the horizontal at the two points of support is What is the tension of the chain at the two segments

A cylinder rests in a supporting carriage as shown. The side of carriage makes an angle with the horizontal and side is vertical. The carriage lies on a fixed horizontal surface and is being pulled towards left with a horizontal acceleration . The magnitude of normal reactions exerted by sides and of carriage on the cylinder are and , respectively. Neglect friction everywhere. Then, as the magnitude of acceleration of the carriage is increased, pick up the correct statement.

Two blocks and of masses and are connected by an ideal string as shown in the figure. Neglect the masses of the pulleys and effect of friction .

Two blocks and of masses , respectively are held at rest such that the spring is in natural length. Find out the accelerations of blocks and , respectively just after release (pulley, string and spring are massless).

System shown in figure is in equilibrium. The magnitude of change in tension in the string just before and just after, when one of the spring is cut. Mass of both the blocks is same and equal to and spring constant of both springs is (Neglect any effect of rotation)


Assertion: Block is moving on horizontal surface towards right under action of force . All surfaces are smooth. At the instant shown, the force exerted by block on block is equal to net force on block .
Reason: From Newton's third law, the force exerted by block on is equal in magnitude to force exerted by block on .

Assertion: A man standing in a lift which is moving upward will feel his weight to be greater than when the lift was at rest.
Reason: If the acceleration of the lift is upwards, then the man of mass shall feel his weight to be equal to normal reaction exerted by the lift given by, (where, is acceleration due to gravity).
