Three blocks with masses of \(m\), \(2m\), and \(3m\) are connected by strings as shown in the figure. After an upward force \(F\) is applied on block \(m\), the masses move upward at a constant speed, \(v\). What is the net force on the block of mass \(2m\)? (\(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity).

Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): A standing bus suddenly accelerates. If there was no friction between the feet of a passenger and the floor of the bus, the passenger would move back.
Reason (R): In the absence of friction, the floor of the bus would slip forward under the feet of the passenger.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. (A) is False but (R) is True.
3. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
4. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

A body is moving with a velocity of \(2\hat i\) m/s. If the force acting on the body is \((2\hat i+3\hat j+3\hat k)\) N, then the momentum of the body is changing in:
1. \(X\)-direction only

2. \(X\text-Y\) directions
3. \(Y\text-Z\) directions
4. In all \(X\text-Y\text-Z\) directions
