A thin rod of length 1m is fixed in a vertical position inside a train, which is moving horizontally with constant acceleration 4ms−2. A bead can slide on the rod, and friction coefficient between them is 1/2. If the bead is released from the rest at the top of the rod, find the time when it will reach at the bottom.

Solution
If mass of bead is m
mg - µN=ma
Now, N = pseudo force due to acceleration of train, which is equal to 4m Newton.
