$A$ mass is hanging on a spring balance which is kept in a lift. The lift ascends with an acceleration. The spring balance will show in its readings:

  • A
    an increase
  • B
    a decrease
  • C
    no change
  • D
    a change depending on its velocity

$A$ box of mass $m \, kg$ is placed on the rear side of an open truck accelerating at $4 \, m/s^2$. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface below it is $0.4$. The net acceleration of the box with respect to the truck is zero. The value of $m$ is :- $[g = 10 \, m/s^2]$

$A$ block of mass $m$ is in contact with the cart $C$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is $\mu$. The acceleration $\alpha$ of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies:

In the given arrangement,all surfaces are smooth. What acceleration $a$ should be given to the system (block $M$) so that the block $m_2$ does not slide down?
