Two objects of equal mass rest on the opposite pans of an arm balance. Does the scale remain balance when it is accelerated up or down in a life ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, since both masses experience equal fictitious forces in magnitude as well as direction.

Assertion :- Two objects of equal mass rest on the opposite pan of an arm balance. Scale will remains balanced, when it is accelerated up or down in a lift. Reason :- Both masses experience equal fictitious forces magnitude as well as direction.

Tow men of masses m_(1)and m_(2) hold on the opposite ends of a rope passing over a frictionless pulley. The men m_(1) climbs up the pore with an acceleration of 1.2m//s^(2) relative to the rope. The mann m_(2) climbs up the rope with an acceleration of 2m//s^(2) relative to the rope. Find the tension in the rope if m_(1)40 kg and m_(2)=60kg. Also find the time after the time after which they will be at same horizontal level if they start from rest and are initially separted by 5 m.

Two equal masses each in are hung from a balance whose scale pans differ in vertical height by h . The error in weighing in terms of density of the earth rho is

Two boxes A and B of masses m and M interconnected by an ideal rope and ideal pulleys are held at rest as shown. When it is released, box B accelerates downwards. Find velocities of box A and B as function of time t after system has been released.

The spring balance A reads 2 kg with a block m suspended from it. A balance B reads 5kg when a beaker with liquid is put on the pan of the balance. The two balances are now so arranged that the hanging mass in inside the liquid in the beaker as shown in the figure. In this situation:

Two spring balances each of mass 2 kg are connected to ceiling of a lift. To the lowest spring a mass of 10 kg is attached. What will be reading of upper spring if lift is moving with g downward acceleration (g)/(6) ?

Two persons A and B of weight 80 kg and 50 kg respectively are standing at opposite ends of a boat of mass 70 kg and length 2 m at rest. When they interchange their positions then displacement of the centre of mass of the boat will be :-

Statement I: In a two-body collision, the momenta of the particles are equal and opposite to one another, before as well as after the collision when measured in the centre of mass frame. Statement. II: The momentum of the system is zero from the centre of mass frame.

A rectangular box lies on a rough inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the box is mu . Let the mass of the box be m. (a) At what angle of inclination 0 of the plane to the horizontal will the box just start to slide down the plane ? (b) What is the force acting on the box down the plane, if the angle of inclination of the plane is increased to a gt theta (c) What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box either remain stationary or just move up with uniform speed ? (d) What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box move up the plane with acceleration a ?

Consider two satellites A and B of equal mass m, moving in the same circular orbit of radius r around the earth E but in opposite sense of rotation and therefore on a collision course (see figure) (i). In terms of G,M_(e) m and r find the total mechanical energy E_(A)+E_(B) of the two satellite plus earth system before collision (ii). If the collision is completely inelastic so that wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass=2m) find the total mechanical energy immediately after collision. (iii). Describe the subsequent motion of the wreckage.
