Correct Answer: (4) 47
Solution:

2. An elevator is moving down with a constant acceleration of 1ms. How much lighter does an 80 kg man feel riding the elevator?

Correct Answer: (4) 80 N
Solution:According to the question, an elevator is moving down with a constant acceleration of 1 m/s² . Hence, man inside the elevator is in non-inertial frame of reference. And we know, we can't apply Newton's law in non-inertial frame of reference to make it inertial frame, apply a force of same magnitude in just opposite in direction. So, net force = weight of man (downward) + Pseudo force (upward) = mg + m(-a) = m(g-a) = 80(10 - 1) = 80 × 9 = 720N
  • Hence, normal reaction acting on man = 720N
  • But, the actual weight of man = mg = 80 x 10 = 800N
  • Hence, 800-720 = 80N lighter does an 80kg man feel riding the elevator.

6. Reduced phase rule is, F =

Correct Answer: (3) C - P + 2
Solution:The phase rule, first announced by J. Willard Gibbs in 1876, relates the physical state of a mixture to the number of constituents in the system and to its conditions. It was also Gibbs who first called each homogeneous region in a system by the term "phase." When pressure and temperature are the state variables, the rule can be written as follows: F = C - P + 2, where F is the number of independent variables (called degrees of freedom), C is the number of components, and P is the number of state phases in the system.
