Q1. Two particle of mass m each are tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a.

The whole system is

kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance ‘a’
from the center P (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards
with a small but constant force F. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The
magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes 2x is

Q2. A block of base 10 cm × 10 cm and height 15 cm is kept on an inclined plane. The coefficient of
friction between them is 3. The inclination ∆ of this inclined plane from the horizontal plane is gradually
increased from 0°. Then

a. At ∆= 30°, the block will start sliding down the plane

b. The block will remain at rest on the plane up to certain ∆ And then it will topple
c. At ∆= 60°, the block will start sliding down the plane And continue to do so at higher angles
d. At ∆= 60°, the block will start sliding down the plane And on further increasing ∆ it will topple at
certain ∆

Q3. A piece of wire is bent in the shape of a parabola y=kx² (y-axis vertical) with a bead of mass m on it.
The bead can Slide on the wire without friction. It stays at the lowest point of the parabola when the
wire is at rest. The wire is now accelerated parallel to the x-axis with a constant acceleration a. The
distance of the new equilibrium Position of the bead, where the bead can stays at rest with respect to
the wire, from the y-axis is

A. a/gk
B. a/2gk
C. 2a/gk
D. a/4gk

block can be placed without slipping is:

A. 1/3
B. 1/2
C. 1/6
 D. 2/3

Q5. In the figure, a ladder of mass m is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an
angle theta with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between The wall and the ladder is ù1
and that between the floor and the ladder is ù2. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is N1 and
that of the floor is N2 .If the ladder is about to slip, then

Q6: A block of mass m is kept on a platform which starts from rest with constant acceleration g/2
upward, as shown in figure. Work done bv normal reaction on block in time t is

Q7: The given arrangement is released from rest when spring is in natural length. Maximum extension in
spring during the motion is x0 a1, a2 and a3 are accelerations of the blocks. Make the correct options

Q8:A person in a lift is holding a water jar, which has a small hole at the lower end of its side. When the
lift is at rest, the water jet coming out of the hole hits the floor of the lift at a distance d of 1.2 m from
the person. In the following, state of the lift’s motion is given in Column I and the distance where the
water jet hits the floor of the lift is given in Column II. Match the statements from Column I with those in
Column II and select the correct using the code given below the lists.
