A glass full of water is placed on a weighing scale, which reds 10 N, A coin with weight 1 N is gently released into the water. At finrst the coin accelerates as it falls and about halfway down the glass, the coin reaches terminal velocity eventually the coin rests on te bottom of the glass, accelerationdue to gravity is `10m//s^(2)`. The scale roads
(a). 10.5N when the coin accelerates at `5m//s^(2))`
(b). 11.5 N when the coin decelerates at `5m//s^(2)`
(c). 11N, when the coin moves with terminal velocity
(d). 11N when the coin rests on the bottom.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D

When coin moves with terminal velocity or rests on the bottom Reading `=10+1=11N`
When coin moves with acceleration of `5m//s^(2)`
Reading `=10+1(1//2)=10.5N`

A coin is released inside a lift at a height of 2m from the floor of the lift. The height of the lift is 10 m. The lift is moving with an acceleration of 9 m//s^(2) downwards. The time after which the coin will strike with the lift is : (g=10 m//s^(2))

Ten coins are placed on top of each other on a horizantal table. If the mass of each coin is 10g and acceleration due to gravity is 10 ms^(-2) , what is the magnitude and direction of the force on the 7^(th) coin (counting from the bottom) due to all the coins above it?

A coin is pushed down tangentially from position theta on a cylindrical surface with a velocity v as shown in Fig. If the coefficient of friction between the coin and surface is mu find the tangential acceleration of the coin

A car starts with constant acceleration a=2m//s^(2) at t=0. two coins are released from the car at t=3 and t=4 . Each coin takes 1 second to fall on ground. Then the distance between the two coins will be (Assume coin sticks to the ground)

In Fig., determine the apparent shift in the position of the coin. Also, find the effective refractive index of the combinatino of the glass and water slab.

A coin of mass m is placed on a horizontal platform which is undergoing S.H.M. about a mean position O in horizontal plane. The force of friction on the coin is f. while the coin does not slip on the platform f is
