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
Write Aristotle’s law regarding motion.
An object of mass $5\, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards from the ground. The air resistance produces a constant retarding force of $10\, N$ throughout the motion. The ratio of time of ascent to the time of descent will be equal to $\left[\right.$Use $g =10 \,ms ^{-2}]$
A large number $(n)$ of identical beads, each of mass $m$ and radius $r$ are strung on a thin smooth rigid horizontal rod of length $L\, (L >> r)$ and are at rest at random positions. The rod is mounted between two rigid supports (see figure) . If one of the beads is now given a speed $v$, the average force experienced by each support after a long time is (assume all collisions are elastic)
In order to test the strength of a rope, one end is tied to a large tree and the other end is hitched to a team of $2$ horses. The horse pull as hard as they can, but cannot break the rope. If the rope is untied from the tree and attached to another team of $2$ horses with equal strength, and the two teams pull in opposite directions, the tension in the rope will
