A weight $M g$ is suspended from the middle of a rope whose ends are at the same level. The rope is no longer horizontal. The minimum tension required to completely straighten the rope is ......
$\frac{M g}{2}$
$M g \cos \theta$
$2 M g \cos \theta$
Infinitely large
Explain primary concept of force.
A balloon of mass $M$ is descending at a constant acceleration $\alpha $. When a mass $m$ is released from the balloon it starts rising with the same acceleration $\alpha $. Assuming that its volume does not change, what is the value of $m$ ?
Write Aristotle’s law regarding motion.
Two masses of $10 \,kg$ and $20 \,kg$ respectivety are connected by a massless spring as shown in fig. A force of $200 \,N$ acts on the $20 \,kg$ mass At the instant shown the $10 \,kg$ mass has acceleration $12 \,m / s ^2$ towards right. The acceleration of $20 \,kg$ mass at this instant is ........ $m / s ^2$
What was Aristotle’s view regarding motion ? How it was wrong ? What is flow in his argument ?
