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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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

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 ?

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.

A thin circular ring of mass M and radius R is rotating in a horizontal plane about an axis vertical to its plane with a constant angular velocity omega . If two objects each mass m be attached gently to the opposite ends of a diameter of the ring, the ring will then rotate with an angular velocity ...........

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

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:
