MCQ
A particle stays at rest as seen in a frame. We can conclude that,
  • A
    The frame is inertial.
  • B
    The frame may be non$-$inertial but there is a non zero resultant force.
  • C
    The frame may be inertial but resultant force on the particle is zero. 
  • $B$ and $C$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$B$ and $C$

Particle will be seen at rest only when frame is inertial and resultant force on particle is zero.
Also, if frame is non inertial $($i.e., accelerated$),$ the particle must also possess the same acceleration in magnitude and direction
i.e., resultant force on the particle must be non zero.

A wave is represented by the equation$y = 7\sin \left( {7\pi t - 0.04\,x\pi + \frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$ $x$ is in metres and $ t$ is in seconds. The speed of the wave is
A vibrating string of certain length $\ell$ under a tension $\mathrm{T}$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75 \mathrm{~cm}$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4$ beats per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $\mathrm{n}$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces $2$ per second. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, the frequency $\mathrm{n}$ of the tuning fork in $\mathrm{Hz}$ is
