प्रश्न
A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies ______.
पर्याय
the force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale.
the force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.
the total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero.
neither the force nor the torque need to be zero.

उत्तर
A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies the force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.
Explanation:
Since the body is moving with a uniform velocity, hence its acceleration is zero. This implies that the net force acting on it must be zero, which further makes the torque acting about the centre of mass of the scale also zero.

A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg, respectively. Assuming that the magnitudes of acceleration and deceleration are the same, find (a) the true weight of the person and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g = 9.9 m/s2.
