Solution : (d) Let M  V a Fb E c
Putting dimensions of each quantities in both side [M ]  [LT 1 ]a [MLT 2 ]b [ML2 T 2 ]c
Equating powers of dimensions. We have b  c  1, a  b  2c  0 and
a  2b  2c  0
Solving these equations, a  2, b = 0 and c = 1
So M  [V 2 F 0 E]

changed from 60 kg to 50 kg for a while and then comes back to the original mark. What should we
conclude
(a)The lift was in constant motion upwards
(b)The lift was in constant motion downwards
(c)The lift while in constant motion upwards, is stopped suddenly
(d)The lift while in constant motion downwards, is suddenly stopped
Solution : (c) For retarding motion of a lift R  m(g  a) for downward motion
R  m(g  a) for upward motion
Since the weight of the body decrease for a while and then comes back to original
value it means the lift was moving upward and stops suddenly.
