HARD
A ball is thrown upward with an initial velocity V0 from the surface of the earth. The motion of the ball is affected by a drag force equal to  mγv2 (where m is mass of the ball, v is its instantaneous velocity and γ is a constant). Time taken by the ball to rise to its zenith is:

A block of mass 5 kg is (i) pushed in case A and (ii) pulled in case B, by a force F=20 N, making an angle of 30o with the horizontal, as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is μ=0.2. The difference between the accelerations of the block, in case B and case A will be:

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.
