A spherical body of mass 2 kg starting from rest acquires a kinetic energy of 10000 J at the end of 5th  second. The force acted on the body is _____ N.

HARD
In an hour-glass approximately 100 grains of sand fall per second (starting from rest); and it takes 2 s for each sand particle to reach the bottom of the hour-glass. If the average mass of each sand particle is 0.2 g, then the average force exerted by the falling sand on the bottom of the hour-glass is close to

Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below.

Question Image

Beaker A contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker B by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis TT ball, is held submerged in beaker C by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker D contains same sized TT ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings wA, wB, wC and wD for A, B, C and D respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.
