$(b)$ Fruits fall off the branches when a strong wind blows. Give a reason.
(N/A) When we jerk wet clothes,the clothes suddenly come into motion,but the water droplets in them tend to remain in a state of rest due to the inertia of rest. As a result,the water droplets get detached from the fabric,causing the clothes to dry more quickly.
$(b)$ Initially,both the fruits and the branches are in a state of rest. When a strong wind blows,the branches suddenly come into motion,but the fruits tend to remain in a state of rest due to the inertia of rest. Consequently,the fruits get detached from the branches and fall down.

View SolutionDerive the unit of force using the second law of motion. $A$ force of $5 \, N$ produces an acceleration of $8 \, m s^{-2}$ on a mass $m_1$ and an acceleration of $24 \, m s^{-2}$ on a mass $m_2$. What acceleration would the same force provide if both the masses are tied together (in $, m s^{-2}$)?
