A circular disc with a groove along its diameter is placed horizontally on a rough surface. A block of mass is placed as shown. The co-efficient of friction between the block and all surfaces of groove and horizontal surface in contact is The disc has an acceleration of towards left. Find the acceleration of the block with respect to disc. Given,

Two blocks of mass and , connected to each other by a massless inextensible string of length are placed along a diameter of a turn table. The coefficient of friction between the table and is while there is no friction between and the table. The table is rotating with an angular velocity of about a vertical axis passing through its centre . The masses are placed along the diameter of the table on either side of the centre such that the mass is at a distance of from . The masses are observed to be at rest with respect to an observer on the turn table. Calculate the frictional force on .

A block is kept on a frictionless inclined surface with angle of inclination . The incline is given an acceleration to keep the block stationary. Then is equal to –

A spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. A man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring reads , when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of , the reading of the spring balance will be –

What was the limitations of Newton's law

Newton’s first law of motion is not valid for______

Newton's laws of motion cannot be applicable to the particle moving at a speed comparable to the speed of

Are there limitations to Newton’s third law? Why?

A piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola (-axis vertical) with a bead of mass on it. The bead can slide on the wire without friction. It stays at lowest point of the parabola when the wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the -axis with a constant acceleration . The distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead, where the bead can stay at rest with respect to the wire, from the -axis is
