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

$A$ man weighing $60 \text{ kg}$ is in a lift moving down with an acceleration of $1.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$. The force exerted by the floor on him is:

$A$ spring balance is attached to the ceiling of a lift. $A$ man hangs his bag on the spring and the spring balance reads $49 \,N$, when the lift is stationary. If the lift moves downward with an acceleration of $5 \,m/s^2$, the reading of the spring balance will be $(g = 9.8 \,m/s^2)$. (in $\,N$)

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?
