Miscellaneous Problems in Newton’s Laws of Motion
PHXI05:LAWS OF MOTION

363464 A person jumps from the \({5^{\text {th }}}\) storey of a building with load on his head. The weight experienced by him before reaching the earth will be

1 zero
2 \(g\,kg\,wt\)
3 \(m(g + a)\)
4 \(mg\)
PHXI05:LAWS OF MOTION

363465 A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies

1 The force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale
2 The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero
3 The total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero
4 Neither the force nor the torque need to be zero
PHXI05:LAWS OF MOTION

363466 If a person with a spring balance and a body hanging from it goes up and up in an aeroplane, then the reading of the weight of the body as indicated by the spring balance will

1 Go on increasing
2 Go on decreasing
3 First increase and then decrese
4 Remain the same
