    A boy standing on a stationary lift (open from above) throws a ball upwards with the maximum initial speed he can, equal to 49 ms^(-1) . How much time does the ball take to return to his hands ? If the lift starts moving up with a uniform speed of 5 ms^(-1) and the boy again throws the ball up with the maximum speed he can, how long does the ball take to return to his hands ?

    Determine the speed with which the earth would have to rotate on its axis , so that a person on the equator would weigh (3)/(5) th as much as the person. Take R = 6400 km .
