Q. No.A motorcyclist drives on a road \(ABCDE\), where the initial part is curved 'upward' \((O_1B=R)\) and the final part is curved 'downward' \((O_2D=R)\). The total mass (man + motorcycle) is \(m\), and man's speed \(v\) is constant. Let the normal reactions at \(B,D\) be \(N_B, N_D\) respectively.
Then:
1.
\(N_{B}=m g+\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(N_{D}=m g-\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
2.
\(N_{B}=m g-\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(N_{D}=m g+\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
3.
\(N_{B}=m g+\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(N_{D}=\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}-m g\)
4.
\(N_{B}=\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}-m g\)
\(N_{D}=\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}+m g\)
\(N_{D}=m g-\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(N_{D}=m g+\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(N_{D}=\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}-m g\)
\(N_{D}=\dfrac{m v^{2}}{R}+m g\)

An astronaut, in a space shuttle, orbiting close to the earth's surface (take \(g= 10~\text{m/s}^2\)), suddenly fires his engines so as to give him a forward acceleration of \(\dfrac{3g}{4}\) along the direction of his motion. At that instant, his apparent weight is:
| 1. | \(25\%\) more than his real weight. |
| 2. | \(25\%\) less than his real weight. |
| 3. | \(75\%\) more than his real weight. |
| 4. | \(75\%\) less than his real weight. |

The mass \(m\) can slide along a smooth radial groove in a horizontal turntable; at the other end is attached a spring- so that the mass \(m\) presses against the spring as it moves 'outward'. The free-end (\(A\)) of the spring is at a distance \(b\) from the centre and the spring constant is \(k.\) If the turntable is rotated with an angular speed \(\omega\), and the mass \(m\) is in 'equilibrium' with the spring compressed, then the compression is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{m\omega^2b}{k}\) |
| 2. | \(\dfrac{m\omega^2b}{k-m\omega^2}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{m\omega^2b}{m\omega^2-k}\) |
| 4. | \(\dfrac{m\omega^2b}{m\omega^2+k}\) |

A wire connects two blocks of masses \(M\), \(2M\); both lying on a smooth horizontal plane.
When a force \(F_1\) is applied to \(2M\) as shown in figure 1, the wire just breaks. On the other hand, when \(F_2\) is applied to \(M\) as shown in figure 2,
the wire just breaks. Assume that the mass of the wire is negligible. Then:
| 1. | \(F_1 =F_2\) |
| 2. | \(F_1>F_2\) |
| 3. | \(F_1<F_2\) |
| 4. | Any of the above is possible |
