  • The apparent weight of a body , weighing M kg wt , during free fall is

    A
    less than M kg wt
    B
    more than M kg wt
    C
    equal to M kg wt
    D
    zero
  • The apparent weight of man in a lift is less the real weight when :

    A
    the lift is going up with an acceleration
    B
    the lift is going down with uniform speed
    C
    the lift is going up with uniform speed
    D
    the lift is going down with an acceleration
  • Assertion: The apparent weight of a person standing in a lift which moves upwards with uniform acceleration is always higher than his true weight. Reason: The weight (on the earth surface) always acts downwards.

    A
    If both assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a corrrect explanation of the Asserion.
    B
    If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not correct explanation of the Assertion.
    C
    If Assertion is Trie but the Reason is False.
    D
    If both Assertion `&` Reason are false
