A √(34) m long ladder weighing 10 kg leans on a frictionless wall. Its feet rest on the floor 3 m away from the wall as shown in the figure. If Ff and Fw are the reaction forces of the floor and the wall, then ratio of Fw/Ff will be:
(Use g = 10 m/s2)

A hanging mass M is connected to a four times bigger mass by using a string-pulley arrangement, as shown in the figure. The bigger mass is placed on a horizontal ice-slab and being pulled by 2Mg force. In this situation, tension in the string is x/5 Mg for x=__________. Neglect mass of the string and friction of the block (bigger mass) with ice slab.
(Given g= acceleration due to gravity)



Given below are two statements :
Statement I: An elevator can go up or down with uniform speed when its weight is balanced with the tension of its cable
Statement II: Force exerted by the floor of an elevator on the foot of a person standing on it is more than his/her weight when the elevator goes down with increasing speed
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A lift of mass is descending with speed of Its supporting cable begins to slip thus allowing it to fall with a constant acceleration of The kinetic energy of the lift at the end of fall through to a distance of will be ___
Figures (a), (b), (c) and (d) show variation of force with time The impulse is highest in figure





A bullet is fired into a fixed target looses one third of its velocity after travelling 4 cm. It penetrates further m before coming to rest. The value of is :
Consider a block and trolley system as shown in figure. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the trolley and the surface is 0.04, the acceleration of the system in m/s2 is : (Consider that the string is massless and unstretchable and the pulley is also massless and frictionless) :
