प्रश्न
Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a drop of rain falling down with a constant speed.
उत्तर
Since the raindrop falls downward at a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, according to Newton's first law of motion, the net force acting on the raindrop is zero, i.e., a = 0 Consequently, from the equation F = ma, we have F = 0.

If the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value, and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks?
A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration 'a' along a straight horizontal track , the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan−1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity. If the angle of incline is tan−1 (a/g), the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerating on a horizontal straight track or moving on an incline? If yes, how? If not, then suggest a method to do so.
