$Find the apparent weight of a body of mass 0.1 kg falling with an acceleration of 10 ms^{- 2} . (g = 10 ms^{- 2})$

Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: C. Full step-by-step solution below.

A $1 kg - wt$
B $2 kg - wt$
C $0$
D $0.5 kg - wt$

Correct answer: C

Solution

(c) When a body is falling freely i.e., under the gravity only then a = q ∴ Apparent weight = m (g - a) = m \times 0 = 0
