Imagine a person standing on a weighing machine placed inside an elevator. The elevator first accelerates, then moves with a constant velocity, and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and minimum weight recorded are $80 \ kg$ and $64 \ kg$, respectively. Find out the true mass of that person considering $g = 10 \ m/s^2$. (in $kg$)

  • A
    $70$
  • B
    $85$
  • C
    $72$
  • D
    $65$

The weight of a man in a stationary lift is $w_1$ and when it is moving downwards with uniform acceleration $a$ is $w_2$. If the ratio $w_1 : w_2 = 4 : 3$,then the value of $a$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

Two wooden blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. If a force $P$ is applied to the system as shown in the figure such that the mass $m$ remains stationary with respect to the block of mass $M$,then the magnitude of the force $P$ is

$A$ person sitting inside an elevator performs a weighing experiment with an object of mass $50 \ kg$. Suppose that the variation of the height $y$ (in $m$) of the elevator,from the ground,with time $t$ (in $s$) is given by $y = 8[1 + \sin(\frac{2 \pi t}{T})]$,where $T = 40 \pi \ s$. Taking acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$,the maximum variation of the object's weight (in $N$) as observed in the experiment is $.....$ .
