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. \(30 \ \text{m/s}^ 2\)

A constant force acts on a body of mass \(0.9\ \text{kg}\) at rest for \(10\ \text{s}\). If the body moves a distance of \(250\ \text{m}\), the magnitude of the force is:

1. \(3\ \text{N}\)

2. \(3.5\ \text{N}\)

3. \(4.0\ \text{N}\)

A motorcyclist moving with a velocity of \(72\ \text{km/h}\) on a flat road takes a turn on the road at a point where the radius of curvature of the road is \(20\ \text{m}\). The acceleration due to gravity is \(10\ \text{m/s}^2\). To avoid skidding, he must not bend with respect to the vertical plane by an angle greater than:
