Important Questions on Laws of Motion

A sphere of mass m is kept in equilibrium with the help of several springs as shown in the figure. Measurements show that one of the springs applies a force . on the sphere. With what acceleration the sphere will move immediately after this particular spring is cut?

In the set-up shown, a 200 N block is supported in equilibrium with the help of strings and a spring, all knotted at point O. Extension in the spring is 4 cm. Force constant of the spring is closest to [g = 10 m/s2]

A lift of mass starts moving from rest in the upward direction. Figure shows the variation of speed of the lift. If T1, T2 and T3 stand for tension in the rope from zero to two seconds, two to six seconds, six to seven seconds respectively, then :-


All surfaces are assumed to be frictionless. Calculate the horizontal force F that must be applied so that m1 and m2 do not move relative to m3 is :-


Two masses of 1 kg and 2 kg are attached to the ends of a massless string passing over a pulley of negligible weight. The pulley itself is attached to a light spring balance as shown in figure. The masses start moving; during this interval the reading of spring balance will be:-
