A boy of mass 4 kg is standing on a piece of wood having mass 5 kg. If the coefficient of friction between the wood and the floor is 0.5, the maximum force that the boy can exert on the rope so that the piece of wood does not move from its place is __________ N. (Round off to the Nearest Integer) [Take g = 10 ms-2 ]
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
$ \because $ f = T
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mu$N = T
$ \Rightarrow $ $\mu$(90 $-$ T) = T
$ \Rightarrow $ 0.5 (90 $-$ T) = T
$ \Rightarrow $ 90 $-$ T = 2T
$ \Rightarrow $ 3T = 90
$ \Rightarrow $ T = 30 N

Two blocks (m = 0.5 kg and M = 4.5 kg) are arranged on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is ${3 \over 7}$. Then the maximum horizontal force that can be applied on the larger block so that the blocks move together is ___________ N. (Round off to the Nearest Integer) [Take g as 9.8 ms$-$2]
Correct Answer: 21
Explanation:
$a = {F \over {M + m}}$
f = m$a$ = m${F \over {M + m}}$
m${F \over {M + m}}$ $ \le $ $\mu $mg (for no slipping)
$ \Rightarrow $ F $ \le $ $\mu $(m + M)g
$ \therefore $ Fmax = ${3 \over 7}\left( {0.5 + 4.5} \right) \times 9.8$ = 21 N

Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow F = (2\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 5\widehat k)N$
time = 4 sec
As body start from rest therefore
position vector initially $\overrightarrow {{r_i}} = (0\widehat i + 0\widehat j + 0\widehat k)$ &
u (initial velocity) = 0
given, ${r_f} = (x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k)$
Now, from second equation of motion
$\overrightarrow s = \overrightarrow u t + {1 \over 2}\overrightarrow a {t^2}$
${r_f} - {r_i} = {1 \over 2} \times \left( {{{2\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 5\widehat k} \over 2}} \right) \times {(4)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $(x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k) - (0\widehat i + 0\widehat j + 0\widehat k) = 8\widehat i + 12\widehat j + 20\widehat k$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k = 8\widehat i + 12\widehat j + 20\widehat k$
$ \therefore $ The value of b = 12
time = 4 sec
As body start from rest therefore
position vector initially $\overrightarrow {{r_i}} = (0\widehat i + 0\widehat j + 0\widehat k)$ &
u (initial velocity) = 0
given, ${r_f} = (x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k)$
Now, from second equation of motion
$\overrightarrow s = \overrightarrow u t + {1 \over 2}\overrightarrow a {t^2}$
${r_f} - {r_i} = {1 \over 2} \times \left( {{{2\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 5\widehat k} \over 2}} \right) \times {(4)^2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $(x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k) - (0\widehat i + 0\widehat j + 0\widehat k) = 8\widehat i + 12\widehat j + 20\widehat k$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x\widehat i + y\widehat j + z\widehat k = 8\widehat i + 12\widehat j + 20\widehat k$
$ \therefore $ The value of b = 12

A person standing on a spring balance inside a stationary lift measures 60 kg. The weight of that person if the lift descends with uniform downward acceleration of 1.8 m/s2 will be ______________ N. [g = 10 m/s2]
Correct Answer: 492
Explanation:
The apparent weight $W_{\text{app}}$ of a person in an elevator moving with acceleration is given by:
$W_{\text{app}} = m(g - a)$
where:
- $W_{\text{app}}$ is the apparent weight,
- $m$ is the mass of the person,
- $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,
- $a$ is the acceleration of the elevator.
Given that the person's mass is 60 kg, the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s², and the acceleration of the lift is 1.8 m/s², we can substitute these values into the formula:
$W_{\text{app}} = 60 \, \text{kg} \times (10 \, \text{m/s}^2 - 1.8 \, \text{m/s}^2) = 60 \, \text{kg} \times 8.2 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 492 \, \text{N}$
So, the apparent weight of the person when the lift descends with a uniform downward acceleration of 1.8 m/s² will be 492 N.

Correct Answer: 500
Explanation:
$\overrightarrow F = 20\widehat i + 10\widehat j$
$\overrightarrow a = {{\overrightarrow F } \over m} = {{20\widehat i + 10\widehat j} \over 2} = 10\widehat i + 5\widehat j$
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow s = {1 \over 2}\overrightarrow a {t^2} = {1 \over 2}\left( {10\widehat i + 5\widehat j} \right) \times {\left( {10} \right)^2}$
$ = 50\left( {10\widehat i + 5\widehat j} \right)m$
$ \therefore $ Displacement along x-axis
= 50 $\times$ 10 = 500 m
$\overrightarrow a = {{\overrightarrow F } \over m} = {{20\widehat i + 10\widehat j} \over 2} = 10\widehat i + 5\widehat j$
$ \therefore $ $\overrightarrow s = {1 \over 2}\overrightarrow a {t^2} = {1 \over 2}\left( {10\widehat i + 5\widehat j} \right) \times {\left( {10} \right)^2}$
$ = 50\left( {10\widehat i + 5\widehat j} \right)m$

[g = 10 m/s2; sin60$^\circ$ = ${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$; cos60$^\circ$ = ${1 \over 2}$]
[g = 10 m/s2; sin60$^\circ$ = ${{\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$; cos60$^\circ$ = ${1 \over 2}$]
Correct Answer: 3.33
Explanation:
N = Mg + Fsin60$^\circ$
N = $\sqrt 3 g + {{F\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$
For No slipping
Fcos60$^\circ$ = Friction
${F \over 2} = \mu N = {1 \over {3\sqrt 3 }}\left( {\sqrt 3 g + {{F\sqrt 3 } \over 2}} \right)$
${F \over 2} = {g \over 3} + {F \over 6}$
${F \over 2} - {F \over 6} = {g \over 3}$
${{6F - 2F} \over {12}} = {g \over 3}$
4F = 4g
F = 10
F = 3x
x = ${F \over 3}$ = ${10 \over 3}$ = 3.33

An inclined plane is bent in such a way that the vertical cross-section is given by $y = {{{x^2}} \over 4}$ where y is in vertical and x in horizontal direction. If the upper surface of this curved plane is rough with coefficient of friction $\mu$ = 0.5, the maximum height in cm at which a stationary block will not slip downward is _________ cm.
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
The graph for given equation is shown below

At maximum height, the slope of tangent drawn,
$\tan \theta = {{dy} \over {dx}} = {{2x} \over 4} = {x \over 2}$ [$\because$ $y = {{{x^2}} \over 4}$]
$ \Rightarrow 0.5 = {x \over 2}$ ($\because$ $\mu$ = tan$\theta$)
$\Rightarrow$ x = 1 m
$\therefore$ $y = {{{x^2}} \over 4} = {1 \over 4}$ = 0.25 m = 25 cm

At maximum height, the slope of tangent drawn,
$\tan \theta = {{dy} \over {dx}} = {{2x} \over 4} = {x \over 2}$ [$\because$ $y = {{{x^2}} \over 4}$]
$ \Rightarrow 0.5 = {x \over 2}$ ($\because$ $\mu$ = tan$\theta$)
$\Rightarrow$ x = 1 m
