Find the apparent weight of a body of mass \(1.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) falling with an acceleration of \(10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\). \(\left(g \approx 10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right)\)

  1. A \(1 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{wt}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{wt}\)
  3. C 0
  4. D \(0.5 \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{wt}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of body, \(M=1 \mathrm{~kg}\) Falling acceleration of body, \(a=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) \(g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) \([\because\) Here, \(a=g]\) \(\therefore\) Apparent weight \(=m(g-a)=m \times 0=0\) \(\therefore\) When body is falling with gravitational acceleration, then…
