When a 5 kg plastic box is placed deep inside water, it accelerates up at a rate of g/6. How much sand should be put inside the box so that it may accelerate down at the rate of g/6?
1. | 2kg | 2. | 3kg |
3. | 4kg | 4. | 5kg |
While walking on ice one should take small steps to avoid slipping. This is because smaller steps ensure
1. Larger friction
2. Smaller friction
3. Larger normal force
4. Smaller normal force

Five persons A, B, C, D & E are pulling a cart of mass 100 kg on a smooth surface and the cart is moving with acceleration 3 in east direction. When person 'A' stops pulling, it moves with acceleration 1 in the west direction. When person 'B' stops pulling, it moves with acceleration 24 in the north direction. The magnitude of the acceleration of the cart when only A & B pull the cart keeping their directions same as the old directions are:

3. 25
4. 30
