$A$ wooden block of mass $5 \, kg$ rests on a soft horizontal floor. When an iron cylinder of mass $25 \, kg$ is placed on top of the block, the floor yields and the block and the cylinder together move down with an acceleration of $0.1 \, m/s^2$. The action force of the system on the floor is equal to: (in $N$)

The apparent weight of a body,when it is travelling upwards with an acceleration of $2 \ m/s^2$ and its mass is $10 \ kg$,will be ......... $N$.

$A$ man of mass $70 \; kg$ stands on a weighing scale in a lift which is moving:
$(a)$ Upwards with a uniform speed of $10 \; m s^{-1}$.
$(b)$ Downwards with a uniform acceleration of $5 \; m s^{-2}$.
$(c)$ Upwards with a uniform acceleration of $5 \; m s^{-2}$.
What would be the readings on the scale in each case?
$(d)$ What would be the reading if the lift mechanism failed and it hurtled down freely under gravity?

The mass of a person sitting in a lift is $50 \, kg$. If the lift is coming down with a constant acceleration of $10 \, m/s^2$,then the reading of the spring balance will be ......... $N$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

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 net force acting on the object with respect to the $S_2$ frame.

Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected with a massless unstretched spring and placed over a plank moving with an acceleration '$a$' as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the blocks and the platform is $\mu$.
