An iron sphere weighing $10\, N$ rests in a $V$ shaped smooth trough whose sides form an angle of $60^o$ as shown in the figure. Then the reaction forces are
$R_A = 10 N$ & $R_B = 0$ in case $(i)$
$R_A = 10 \,N$ & $R_B = 10\, N$ in case $(ii)$
$R_A = \frac{{20}}{{\sqrt 3 }} N$ & $R_B = \frac{{10}}{{\sqrt 3 }} N$ in case $(iii)$
All of the above
A body of mass $m$ hangs at one end of a string of length $l$, the other end of which is fixed. It is given a horizontal velocity so that the string would just reach where it makes an angle of $60^o$ with the vertical. The tension in the string at mean position is
A football of radius $R$ is kept on a hole of radius $r (r < R)$ made on a plank kept horizontally. One end of the plank is now lifted so that it gets tilted making an angle $\theta$ from the horizontal as shown in the figure below. The maximum value of $\theta$ so that the football does not start rolling down the plank satisfies (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale) -
A uniform sphere of weight $W$ and radius $5\, cm$ is being held by a string as shown in the figure. The tension in the string will be
A parachutist with total weight $75 \,kg$ drops vertically onto a sandy ground with a speed of $2 \,ms ^{-1}$ and comes to halt over a distance of $0.25 \,m$. The average force from the ground on her is close to ............ $N$
What was Aristotle’s view regarding motion ? How it was wrong ? What is flow in his argument ?
