If suddenly the gravitational force of attraction between earth and a satellite revolving around it becomes zero, then the satellite will –

EASY
IMPORTANT

A body of mass m hangs at one end of a string of length l, the other end of which is fixed. It is given a horizontal velocity so that the string would just reach where it makes an angle of 60° with the vertical. The tension in the string at mean position is

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

Three forces acting on a body are shown in the figure. To have a resultant force only along the Y-axis, the magnitude of the minimum additional force needed is:

EASY
IMPORTANT

The rough surface of a horizontal table offers a definite maximum opposing force to initiate the motion of a block along the table, which is proportional to the resultant normal force given by the table. Forces F1 and F2 act at the same angle θ with the horizontal and both are just initiating the sliding motion of the block along the table. Force F1 is a pulling force while the force F2 is a pushing force. F2 > F 1 , because

EASY
IMPORTANT

Consider following forces: (w) Force due to tension along a string, (x) Normal force given by a surface, (y) Force due to air resistance and (z) Buoyant force or upthrust given by a fluid. Which of these are electromagnetic forces?

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion : Both the string AB and CD have equal tensile strength. If the lower string is pulled gradually then the upper string is more likely to break, but if the lower string is pulled with a jerk, then the lower string is more likely to break.

Question Image

Reason : Due to the property of inertia the position of the block doesn't change suddenly. However its position can charge gradually.
