Question #2
Two masses, M1 = 3 kg and M2 = 2 kg, are connected by a light inextensible string passing over a frictionless pulley (Atwood machine). The acceleration of the system is (Take g = 10 m/s^2):
A. 10 m/s^2
B. 5 m/s^2
C. 4 m/s^2
D. 2 m/s^2

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For an Atwood machine, the common acceleration of both masses is given by the formula a = [(M1 - M2) / (M1 + M2)] * g. Substituting the given values: a = [(3 - 2) / (3 + 2)] * 10 = (1 / 5) * 10 = 2 m/s^2. The heavier mass accelerates downwards, the lighter one upwards.

Question #3
Assertion (A): The acceleration due to gravity is less at the equator than at the poles. Reason (R): Earth's rotation causes a centrifugal effect that reduces effective gravity at the equator.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
B. A is true, but R is false
C. A is false, but R is true
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Assertion is true: g is about 9.78 m/s² at equator vs 9.83 m/s² at poles. Reason is true and correctly explains A: Earth's rotation creates centrifugal acceleration outward, maximum at equator (radius of rotation = Earth's radius), reducing effective g. Additionally, equatorial bulge increases distance from center, further reducing g. Memory tip: 'Rotation effect: g_effective = g - ω²R cos²φ'. This assertion-reason question tests nuanced understanding of gravity variation, common in competitive exams. Always verify both statements independently before assessing the explanatory link.
