An object of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed at rest in a frame $S_1$ moving with velocity $10 \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \, m/s$ and having acceleration $5 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} \, m/s^2$. The object is also seen by an observer standing in a frame $S_2$ moving with velocity $5 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} \, m/s$. Calculate the net force acting on the object with respect to the $S_2$ frame.

$A$ body of mass $1.0 \, kg$ is falling with an acceleration of $10 \, m/s^2$. Its apparent weight will be ......... $kg \, wt$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is kept in an elevator which starts moving downward with an acceleration $a$ as shown in the figure. The block is observed by two observers $A$ and $B$ for a time interval $t_0$. The observer $B$ is on the ground (inertial frame). What is the work done by the pseudo force on the block as observed by observer $B$?

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination $\theta$. The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity) will be
