A thief stole a box full of valuable articles of weight W and while carrying it on his back, he jumped down a wall of height ‘ h ’ from the ground. Before he reached the ground he experienced a load of

A

W

B

2W

C

`W/2`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the thief with a box on his head jumps down, weight of box becomes zero, hence the thief does not experience any loud.

A man of mass m having a bag ofmas m slips from the roof of atall building of height H and starts falling vertically figure. When at a height h from the ground, he notices that the ground below him is pretty hard but there is a pond at a horizontal distnce x from the line of fall. In order to save himself he throws the bag horizontally (with respect to himself) in the direction opposite to the pond. Calculate the minimum horizontal velocity imparted to the bag so that the man lands in the water. If the man just suceeds toavoid the hard ground, where will the bag land?

A man whose mass is m kg jumps vertically into air from the sitting position in which his centre of mass is at a height h_(1) from the ground. When his feet are just about to leave the ground his centre of mass is at height h_(2) from the ground and finally centre of mass rises to h_(3) above the ground when he is at the top of the jump. what is the average upward force exerted by the ground on him?

An inquistive student, determined to test the law of gravity for himself, walks to the top of a building og 145 floors, with every floor of height 4 m, having a stopwatch in his hand (the first floor is at a height of 4 m from the ground level). From there he jumps off with negligible speed and hence starts rolling freely. A rocketeer arrives at the scene 5 s later and dives off from the top of the building to save the student. The rocketeer leaves the roof with an initial downward speed v_0 . In order to catch the student at a sufficiently great height above ground so that the rocketeer and the student slow down and arrive at the ground with zero velocity. The upward acceleration that accomplishes this is provided by rocketeer's jet pack, which he turns on just as he catches the student, before the rocketeer is in free fall. To prevent any discomfort to the student, the magnitude of the acceleration of the rocketeer and the student as they move downward together should not exceed 5 g. Just as the student starts his free fall, he presses the button of the stopwatch. When he reaches at the top of 100th floor, he has observed the reading of stopwatch as 00:00:06:00 (hh:mm:ss:100 th part of the second). Find the value of g. (correct upt ot two decimal places).

The position - time graph for rocketeer would be (take the top of building as origin, and vertical downward direction as positive y-axis.)
