A false balance has equal arms. An object weighs X when placed in one pan and Y when placed in other pan, then the weight W of the object is equal to 

(1) $\sqrt{XY}$

(2) $\frac{X+Y}{2}$

(3) $\frac{X^2+Y^2}{2}$

(4) $\frac{2}{\sqrt{X^2+Y^2}}$ 

The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle \(\theta\) should be: 
 
1. \(0^\circ\)
2. \(30^\circ\)
3. \(45^\circ\)
4. \(60^\circ\)

A string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass \(m\) supports a block of mass \(M\) as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by:
 
1. \(\sqrt{2} M g\)
2. \(\sqrt{2} m g\)
3. \(g\sqrt{\left( M + m \right)^{2} + m^{2}}\)
4. \(g\sqrt{\left(M + m \right)^{2} + M^{2}}\)

A pulley fixed to the ceilling carries a string with blocks of mass m and 3 m attached to its ends. The masses of string and pulley are negligible. When the system is released, its centre of mass moves with what acceleration 

(1) 0

(2) g/4

(3) g/2

(4) –g/2

A block \(B\) is placed on top of block \(A\). The mass of block \(B\) is less than the mass of block \(A\). Friction exists between the blocks, whereas the ground on which block \(A\) is placed is assumed to be smooth. A horizontal force \(F\), increasing linearly with time begins to act on \(B\). The acceleration \(a_A\) and \(a_B\) of blocks \(A\) and \(B\) respectively are plotted against \(t\). The correctly plotted graph is:

1.		2.
3.		4.

A particle of mass m, initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force F for a brief interval of time T. It begins to move with a velocity u after the force stops acting. F is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is an ellipse.

(1) $u=\frac{\pi F_0^2}{2m}$

(2) $u=\frac{\pi T^2}{8m}$

(3) $u=\frac{\pi F_{0}T}{4m}$
