$A$ 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

  • A
    $mg\cos \theta$
  • B
    $mg\sin \theta$
  • C
    $mg$
  • D

$A$ metallic rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is moving under the action of two unequal forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ (directed opposite to each other) acting at its ends along its length. Ignore gravity and any external magnetic field. If the specific charge of electrons is $(e/m)$,then the potential difference between the ends of the rod in steady state must be:

Inside a horizontally moving box,an experimenter finds that when an object is placed on a smooth horizontal table and is released,it moves with an acceleration of $10\,m/s^2$. In this box,if a $1\,kg$ body is suspended with a light string,the tension in the string in the equilibrium position (with respect to the experimenter) will be $.........\,N$. (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$)
