A lift weighing is moving upwards with an acceleration of . The tension in the supporting cable is

A mass of is suspended by a thread. It is–
(i) lifted up with an acceleration
(ii) lowered with an acceleration
The ratio of the tensions in (i) and (ii) is

Two particles of mass each are tied at the ends of a light string of length The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance from the centre (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes is

A block of mass is placed on a horizontal frictionless plane. A second block of mass is placed on it and is connected to a spring of spring constant the two blocks are pulled by distance . Block oscillates without slipping. What is the maximum value of frictional force between the two blocks?

Three identical blocks of masses are drawn by a force on a frictionless surface, then what is the tension (in ) in the string between the blocks and ?

A player caught a cricket ball of mass moving at a rate of . If, the catching process is completed in , the force of the blow exerted by the ball on the hand of the player is equal to

A particle of mass is subjected to a force with . What will be its initial acceleration if it is released from a point away from the origin?

A machine gun fires a bullet of mass 40 g with a velocity 1200 . The man holding it can exert a maximum force of 144 N on the gun. How many bullets can he fire per second at the most?

A rocket with a lift-off mass is blasted upwards with an initial acceleration of . Then the initial thrust of the blast is nearly –

One end of the carpet is bent back, then pulled backwards with constant unit velocity, just above the part of the carpet which is at rest on the floor. What is the minimum force needed to pull if the carpet has unit length and unit mass?

An object of mass is dropped from height on the surface of earth. The acceleration produced in the motion of earth by the object will be

A particle of mass is moving in the -plane such that its velocity at a point is given as where is a non-zero constant. What is the force acting on the particle?
