Column II shows five systems in which two objects are labelled as X and Y. Also in each case a point P is shown. Column I gives some statements about X and/or Y. Match these statements to the appropriate system(s) from Column II:
| Column I | Column II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | The force exerted by X on Y has a magnitude . | (P) | ![]() Block Y of mass M left on a fixed inclined plane X, slides on it with a constant velocity. |
| (B) | The gravitational potential energy of X is continuously increasing. | (Q) | ![]() Two rings magnets Y and Z, each of mass M, are kept in frictionless vertical plastic stand so that they repel each other. Y rests on the base X and Z hangs in air in equilibrium. P is the topmost point of the stand on the common axis of the two rings. The whole system is in a lift that is going up with a constant velocity. |
| (C) | Mechanical energy of the system X + Y is continuously decreasing. | (R) | ![]() A pulley Y of mass is fixed to a table through a clamp X. A block of mass M hangs from a string that goes over the pulley and is fixed at point P of the table. The whole system is kept in a lift that is going down with a constant velocity. |
| (D) | The torque of the weight of Y about point is zero. | (S) | ![]() A sphere Y of mass M is put in a non-viscous liquid X kept in a container at rest. The sphere is released and it moves down in the liquid. |
| (T) | ![]() A sphere Y of mass M is falling with its terminal velocity in a viscous liquid X kept in a container. |
