$A$ $20 \text{ ton}$ truck is travelling along a curved path of radius $240 \text{ m}$. If the center of gravity of the truck above the ground is $2 \text{ m}$ and the distance between its wheels is $1.5 \text{ m}$, the maximum speed of the truck with which it can travel without toppling over is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$) (in $\text{ ms}^{-1}$)

At the moment $t=0$, a time-dependent force $F=at$ (where $a$ is a constant equal to $1 \,Ns^{-1}$) is applied to a body of mass $1 \,kg$ resting on a smooth horizontal plane as shown in the figure. If the direction of this force makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, then the velocity of the body at the moment it leaves the plane is (acceleration due to gravity $=10 \,ms^{-2}$)

Statement $I :$ $A$ cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of $7 \, km/h$ and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of radius $2 \, m$ without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is $0.2$. The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$.
Statement $II :$ If the road is banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$,the cyclist can cross the curve of $2 \, m$ radius with a speed of $18.5 \, km/h$ without slipping.

$A$ heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass $m$ $(m \ll M)$. When the car is at rest,the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60 \, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$,the wave-speed increases to $60.5 \, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$,in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$,is closest to:

In the figure shown,all surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block is $m = 1\, kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $a = 10\, m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Calculate the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $\sqrt{3}$ seconds. (Assume $\tan \theta = a/g = 1$,so $\theta = 45^\circ$)

$A$ ball connected with a string is released at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the vertical,as shown in the figure. If the mass of the box is equal to the mass of the ball,the acceleration of the box at this instant will be:
