$A$ man is standing on a weighing machine placed in a lift. When stationary,his weight is recorded as $40 \, kg$. If the lift is accelerated upwards with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^2$,then the weight recorded in the machine will be .......... $kg$ $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

Select the correct statement regarding pseudo force.

$A$ very broad elevator is going up vertically with a constant acceleration of $2\,m/s^2$. At the instant when its velocity is $4\,m/s$,a ball is projected from the floor of the lift with a speed of $4\,m/s$ relative to the floor at an elevation of $30^{\circ}$. The time taken by the ball to return to the floor is $..............\,s$ $(g=10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ 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 $\,N$)

$A$ 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 $N$)
