$Assertion$: Two bodies of masses $M$ and $m$ $(M > m)$ are allowed to fall from the same height. If the air resistance for each is the same,then both bodies will reach the Earth simultaneously.
$Reason$: For the same air resistance,the acceleration of both bodies will be the same.

  • A
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct and the $Reason$ is a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • B
    If both $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are correct but $Reason$ is not a correct explanation of the $Assertion$.
  • C
    If the $Assertion$ is correct but $Reason$ is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the $Assertion$ and $Reason$ are incorrect.

In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0 (< g)$,then

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below:
$(A)$ $A$ body initially at rest is acted upon by a constant force. The rate of change of its kinetic energy varies linearly with time.
$(B)$ When a body is at rest, it must be in equilibrium.

On a pulley of mass $M$ hangs a rope with two masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ $(m_{1} > m_{2})$ tied at the ends as shown in the figure. The pulley rotates without any friction,whereas the friction between the rope and the pulley is large enough to prevent any slipping. Which of the following plots best represents the difference between the tensions in the rope on the two sides of the pulley as a function of the mass of the pulley?

In the diagram,$BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $k = \frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$,then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Find the value of $\mu + \sqrt{3}$.
