1. Assertion : If net force on a rigid body in zero, it is either at rest or moving with a constant
linear velocity. Nothing else can happen.
Reason : Constant velocity means linear acceleration is zero.
2. Assertion : Three concurrent forces are F1 , F2 and F3 . Angle between F1 and F2 is 30° and
between F1 and F3 is 120°. Under these conditions, forces cannot remain in equilibrium.
Reason : At least one angle should be greater than 180°.
3. Assertion : In the figure shown tension in string AB always lies between m1g and m2g.

11. A plumb bob of mass 1 kg is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. The train moves on an
inclined plane with constant velocity. If the angle of incline is 30°. Find the angle made by the string
with the normal to the ceiling. Also, find the tension in the string. (g = 10 m/ s2 )
12. Repeat both parts of the above question, if the train moves with an acceleration a = g/ 2 up the plane.

support S by two inextensible wires each of length 1 m, as shown in the figure.
The upper wire has negligible mass and the lower wire has a uniformly 2.9 kg
distributed mass of 0.2 kg. The whole system of blocks, wires and support
have an upward acceleration of 0.2 m/ s2. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/
s2.
