On a stationary sail-boat,air is blown at the sails from a fan attached to the boat. The boat will

Two blocks $1$ and $2$ of equal mass $m$ are connected by an ideal string over a frictionless pulley. The blocks are attached to the ground by springs having spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $k_1 > k_2$. Initially,both springs are unstretched. Block $1$ is slowly pulled down a distance $x$ and released. Just after the release,the possible values of the magnitudes of the accelerations of the blocks $a_1$ and $a_2$ can be

At the moment $t=0$, a time-dependent force $F=at$ (where $a$ is a constant equal to $1 \,Ns^{-1}$) is applied to a body of mass $1 \,kg$ resting on a smooth horizontal plane as shown in the figure. If the direction of this force makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, then the velocity of the body at the moment it leaves the plane is (acceleration due to gravity $=10 \,ms^{-2}$)

If the overbridge is concave instead of being convex,the thrust on the road at the lowest position will be

$A$ block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ can just be pushed upwards by applying a force $F$ as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $\theta = 60^{\circ}$,the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of the same magnitude $F$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is:

Place a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 \ cm$ and the right one at $90.00 \ cm$. When you attempt to move both fingers slowly towards the center,initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance,the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center $(50.00 \ cm)$ of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$,respectively,the value of $x_R$ (in $cm$) is:
