$A$ wedge $Y$ with mass of $10 \text{ kg}$ has all frictionless surfaces, and the inclined surface makes an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. $A$ block $X$ with mass $2 \text{ kg}$ is placed at the highest point of the wedge as shown in the figure and is at rest. At $t=0$, the wedge $Y$ is pulled toward the right with a constant force $f$ of $24 \text{ N}$. Taking the block $X$ at rest at $t=0$, the time taken by it to slide down $8.8 \text{ m}$ on the slope, while $Y$ is in motion, is . . . . . . s. (Take $\tan(37^{\circ}) = 3/4$ and $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ person is standing in an elevator. In which situation does he experience weight loss?

An elevator car,whose floor-to-ceiling distance is $2.7 \, m$,starts ascending with a constant acceleration of $1.2 \, m/s^2$. $2 \, s$ after the start,a bolt begins falling from the ceiling of the car. The free-fall time of the bolt is ......... $s$.

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 pseudo force acting on the object. Which frame is responsible for this force?

Find the apparent weight of a body of mass $1.0 \,kg$ falling with an acceleration of $10 \,ms^{-2}$. $\left(g \approx 10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$

$A$ lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to the acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $m$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,then the frictional resistance offered by the body is:
