A person of mass \(60~\text{kg}\) is standing in an elevator. Column-I lists different motion conditions of the elevator and Column-II provides the corresponding normal force (i.e., the force exerted by the floor on the person). Match the entries in Column-I with the appropriate values in Column-II.
Column-I Column-II
(A) Elevator moving at constant speed (I) Force on the floor by the person \(=600\) N
(B) Elevator accelerating upward at \(3~\text{ms}^{-2}\) (II) Force on the floor by the person \(=780\) N
(C) Elevator accelerating downward at \(3~\text{ms}^{-2}\) (III) Force on the floor by the person \(=420\) N

A conical pendulum of length \(1~\text{m}\) makes an angle \(\theta=45^\circ\) with respect to the \(z\text-\)axis and moves in a circle in the \(xy\) plane. The radius of the circle is \(0.4~\text{m}\) and its center is vertically below \(O.\) The speed of the pendulum, in its circular path, will be:

A light, rigid block is placed on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force \(F_2\) and a vertical force \(F_1\) are exerted on the block, so that it just stops moving due to friction. It is observed that \(F_1=4F_2.\) The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is:
1. \(1\) 2. \(\dfrac12\)
3. \(\dfrac14\) 4. \(2\)
