$A$ spring balance and a physical balance are kept in a lift. In these balances,equal masses are placed. If the lift starts moving upwards with constant acceleration,then:

  • A
    The reading of the spring balance will increase and the equilibrium position of the physical balance will be disturbed.
  • B
    The reading of the spring balance will remain unchanged and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
  • C
    The reading of the spring balance will decrease and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.
  • D
    The reading of the spring balance will increase and the physical balance will remain in equilibrium.

$A$ person of $60 \,kg$ mass is in a lift which is coming down such that the man exerts a force of $150 \,N$ on the floor of the lift. Then the acceleration of the lift is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$ (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ ball is suspended on a thread from the ceiling of a car. The brakes are applied and the speed of the car changes from $5\, m/s$ to $\frac{5}{3}\, m/s$ during the time interval of $3\, s$. The angle that the thread will deviate from the vertical in the new equilibrium position is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
To an observer $B$,when the block is compressing the spring:

$A$ piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola $y=kx^2$ ($y$-axis vertical) with a bead of mass $m$ on it. The bead can slide on the wire without friction. It stays at the lowest point of the parabola when the wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the $x$-axis with a constant acceleration $a$. The distance of the new equilibrium position of the bead,where the bead can stay at rest with respect to the wire,from the $y$-axis is

$A$ coin is dropped in a lift. It takes time $t_1$ to reach the floor when the lift is stationary. It takes time $t_2$ when the lift is moving up with constant acceleration $a$. Then:
