A ladder is hanging from ceiling as shownin figure. Three men A, B and C of masses 40 kg, 60 kg, and 50 kg are climbing the ladder. Man A is going up with retardation 2m//s^(2), C is going up with an acceleration of 1m//s^(2) and man B is going up with a constantg speed of 0.5 m/s. Find the tension in the string supporting the ledder. [g=9.8m//s^(2)]

Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with a 'speeding up' of the body. Reason: Increase in speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.

An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms^(-1) and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms^(-1) speed. If the third part flies off with 4 ms^(-1) speed, then its mass i s .....
