A motorcycle is going on an overbridge of radius R. The driver maintains a constant speed. As the motorcycle is ascending on the overbridge, the normal force on it:
1. Increases
2. decreases
3. remains the same
4. fluctuates erratically
A rod of length L and mass m is acted on by two unequal forces and as shown in the following figure

The tension in the rod at a distance y from the end A is given by :
1.
2.
3.
4. None of the above
Two blocks \(A\) and \(B\) each of mass \(m\) are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. Two horizontal forces \(F\) and \(2F\) are applied to both the blocks \(A\) and \(B\) respectively as shown in the figure. Block \(A\) does not slide on block \(B\). Then the normal reaction acting between the two blocks is:

1. \(F\)
2. \(\dfrac{F}{2}\)
3. \(\dfrac{F }{ \sqrt 3}\)
4. \(3F\)
Five persons \(A,\ B,\ C,\ D\ \text{and}\ E \) are pulling a cart of mass \(100\ \text{kg}\) on a smooth surface, and the cart is moving with an acceleration \(3 \ \text{m /s} ^ 2\) in the East direction. When person \(A\) stops pulling, it moves with an acceleration \(1 \ \text{m /s}^ 2\) in the west direction. When person\(B\) stops pulling, it moves with an acceleration \(24 \ \text{m/s}^ 2\) in the north direction. The magnitude of the acceleration of the cart when only \(A\) and\(B\) pull the cart, keeping their directions the same as the old directions, is:
1. \(26 \ \text{m/s}^ 2\)
2. \(3\sqrt{71} \ \text{m/s}^ 2\)
3. \(25 \ \text{m/s}^ 2\)
4. \(30 \ \text{m/s}^ 2\)
Two masses, \(m\) and \(M\), are connected by a light string passing over a smooth pulley. When mass \(m\) moves up by \(1.4\) m in \(2\) sec, the ratio \(\frac{m}{M}\) is:
| 1. | \(\frac{13}{15} \) | 2. | \(\frac{15}{13} \) |
| 3. | \(\frac{9}{7} \) | 4. | \(\frac{7}{9}\) |
The engine of a car produces an acceleration of 4 m/s2 in the car. If this car pulls another car of the same mass, what will be the acceleration produced?
1. 8 m/s2
2. 2 m/s2
3. 4 m/s2
4.
A truck and a car are moving with equal velocity. If equal retarding force is applied on each, then on applying the brakes both will stop after certain distance
1. Truck will cover less distance before rest
2. Car will cover less distance before rest
3. Both will cover equal distance
4. None
A constant force acts on a body of mass 0.9 kg at rest for 10s. If the body moves a distance of 250 m, the magnitude of the force is
1. 3 N
2. 3.5 N
3. 4.0 N
4. 4.5 N
A body of 5 kg is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s. If a force of 100 N is applied on it for 10 sec in the same direction as its velocity, what will now be the velocity of the body?
1. 200 m/s
2. 220 m/s
3. 240 m/s
4. 260 m/s
A cyclist turns around a curve at 15 miles/hour. If he turns at double the speed, the tendency to overturn is
1. Doubled
2. Quadrupled
3. Halved
4. Unchanged
