MCQ
A mass attached to a string that is itself attached to the ceiling swings back and forth. If the bob is observed to be moving upward at a given instance, as shown to the right, which arrow best depicts the direction of the net force acting on the bob at that instant:
  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • $C$
  • D
    $D$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C$
Two forces act on the bob. $(i)$ is the tension in the string and the $(ii)\ mg \sin I,$ which will be tangential to the path.
The resultant of both the forces will be along vector $C$

If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance ( see figure), it is very difficult to pull them apart. It is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that gives rise to lower pressure in the water in comparison to atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is $R$ and surface tension of water is $T$ then the pressure in water between the plates is lower by
