Determine the vertical rise h, in mm, of the load W during 5 s, if the hoisting drum wraps cable around it at the constant rate of $320 \, mms^{-1}$ .
Correct Answer: 400
Explanation:
Let $A$ be a point on cable 1
$L _ {1} = S _ {A} + 2 S _ {B}$
$0 = v _ {A} + 2 v _ {B}\tag{... (1}$
$L _ {2} = S _ {C} + \left(S _ {C} - S _ {B}\right)$
$0 = 2 v _ {C} - v _ {B}\tag{... (2}$

Combine (1) and (2) to obtain
$v _ {C} = - \frac {1}{4} v _ {A} = - \frac {1}{4} (3 2 0) = - 8 0 \mathrm{mms} ^ {- 1}$
So, W rises by $h = 80(5) = 400 \text{ mm}$
$L _ {1} = S _ {A} + 2 S _ {B}$
$0 = v _ {A} + 2 v _ {B}\tag{... (1}$
$L _ {2} = S _ {C} + \left(S _ {C} - S _ {B}\right)$
$0 = 2 v _ {C} - v _ {B}\tag{... (2}$

Combine (1) and (2) to obtain
$v _ {C} = - \frac {1}{4} v _ {A} = - \frac {1}{4} (3 2 0) = - 8 0 \mathrm{mms} ^ {- 1}$

Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
Let $\theta$ be the required angle, then maximum retardation is
$\begin{array}{r l} & a = \frac {f _ {L} - m g \sin \theta}{m} \\ \Rightarrow & a = \frac {\mu m g \cos \theta - m g \sin \theta}{m} \\ \Rightarrow & a = \mu g \cos \theta - g \sin \theta = g (\mu \cos \theta - \sin \theta) \end{array}$

Now, using $v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as$ , we get

$\Rightarrow \mu g \cos \theta - g \sin \theta = 1 0$
$\begin{array}{r l} & {\Rightarrow \Bigg (\frac {4}{3} \Bigg) (1 0) \cos \theta - (1 0) \sin \theta = 1 0} \\ & {\Rightarrow 4 \cos \theta - 3 \sin \theta = 3} \\ & {\Rightarrow 4 \cos \theta = 3 (1 + \sin \theta)} \\ & {\Rightarrow 1 6 \cos^ {2} \theta = 9 (1 + \sin^ {2} \theta + 2 \sin \theta)} \\ & {\Rightarrow 1 6 (1 - \sin^ {2} \theta) = 9 (1 + \sin^ {2} \theta + 2 \sin \theta)} \\ & {\Rightarrow 2 5 \sin^ {2} \theta + 1 8 \sin \theta - 7 = 0} \\ & {\Rightarrow \sin \theta = \frac {- 1 8 \pm \sqrt {3 2 4 + 7 0 0}}{5 0}} \\ & {\Rightarrow \sin \theta = \frac {\sqrt {1 0 2 4} - 1 8}{5 0} = \frac {3 2 - 1 8}{5 0} = \frac {1 4}{5 0}} \\ & {\{\because \mathrm{Rejectingnegativesign} \}} \end{array}$

Figure shows a man of mass $M = 65$ kg standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt accelerating at $1 \, \mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ . Calculate the net force, in newton, on the man. If the coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the belt is 0.2, upto what acceleration, in $\mathrm{cms}^{-2}$ , of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? Take $g = 10 \, \mathrm{ms}^{-2}$ .
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
Since the man is standing stationary w.r.t. the belt, so acceleration of the man equals the acceleration of the belt i.e. $a = 1 \, ms^{-2}$
Net force on the man is $F_{net} = Ma = 65 \times 1 = 65$ N
Limiting friction is
$f _ {L} = \mu \mathrm{mg}$
Let the man remains stationary with respect to the belt for maximum acceleration $a_{0}$ , then
$\begin{array}{r l} & m a _ {0} = f _ {L} = \mu \mathrm{mg} \\ \Rightarrow & a _ {0} = \mu g = (0. 2) (1 0) = 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \Rightarrow & a _ {0} = 2 0 0 \mathrm{cms} ^ {- 2} \end{array}$
Net force on the man is $F_{net} = Ma = 65 \times 1 = 65$ N
Limiting friction is

Let the man remains stationary with respect to the belt for maximum acceleration $a_{0}$ , then
$\begin{array}{r l} & m a _ {0} = f _ {L} = \mu \mathrm{mg} \\ \Rightarrow & a _ {0} = \mu g = (0. 2) (1 0) = 2 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2} \\ \Rightarrow & a _ {0} = 2 0 0 \mathrm{cms} ^ {- 2} \end{array}$

b) For W to be maximum
$\mathrm{Since} \sin (1 0 ^ {\circ}) \cos (1 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \sin (1 0 ^ {\circ}) \cos (1 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \sin (2 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \tan (2 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {1}{2 \sqrt {2}}$
So, $\theta = 20^{\circ}$
From equation (3), we get

A 30 kg mass is initially at rest on the floor of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and the floor of truck is 0.3 and coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. Initially the truck is travelling due east at constant speed. Find the magnitude and direction of the friction force, in newton, acting on the mass if
(A) the truck accelerates at $1.8 \, ms^{-2}$ eastward.
(B) the truck accelerates at $3.8 \, ms^{-2}$ westward.
Correct Answer: (a) 54, (b) 59
Explanation:
(a) When the truck accelerates eastwards, force of friction on mass is eastwards, because the block has a tendency to move westwards w.r.t. the truck. So,
$f _ {\text { required }} = \text { mass } \times \text { acceleration } = 3 0 \times 1. 8 = 5 4 \mathrm{N}$
Since it is less than $\mu_{s}mg$ , hence
$f = 5 4 \mathrm{N} (\text { eastwards })$
b) When the truck accelerates westwards then similar to the argument given earlier, force of friction is westwards. So,
$f _ {\text { required }} = \text { Mass } \times \text { Acceleration } = 3 0 \times 3. 8 = 1 1 4 \mathrm{N}$
Since it is greater than $\mu_{s}mg$ , hence
$f = f _ {k} = \mu_ {k} m g \approx 5 9 \mathrm{N} (\text { westwards })$
$f _ {\text { required }} = \text { mass } \times \text { acceleration } = 3 0 \times 1. 8 = 5 4 \mathrm{N}$
Since it is less than $\mu_{s}mg$ , hence
$f = 5 4 \mathrm{N} (\text { eastwards })$
b) When the truck accelerates westwards then similar to the argument given earlier, force of friction is westwards. So,
$f _ {\text { required }} = \text { Mass } \times \text { Acceleration } = 3 0 \times 3. 8 = 1 1 4 \mathrm{N}$

Tangential acceleration in interval AC is
$a _ {T} = \frac {v _ {C} ^ {2} - v _ {A} ^ {2}}{2 s} = 1. 4 4 7 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Centripetal i.e. Normal acceleration $a_{N}$ at C is
$a _ {N} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{r _ {C}} = 2. 4 1 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Tangential force $F_{T}$ at C is
$F _ {T} = m a _ {T} = 1 5 0 0 \times 1. 4 4 7 = 2 1 7 0 \mathrm{N}$
Normal force $F_{N}$ at C is
$F _ {N} = m a _ {N} = 1 5 0 0 \times 2. 4 1 = 3 6 2 0 \mathrm{N}$
Total force at $C$ is
$F = \sqrt {F _ {N} ^ {2} + F _ {T} ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = \sqrt {(2 1 7 0) ^ {2} + (3 6 2 0) ^ {2}}$
$\Rightarrow F = 4 2 2 0 \mathrm{N}$
Tangential acceleration in interval AC is
$a _ {T} = \frac {v _ {C} ^ {2} - v _ {A} ^ {2}}{2 s} = 1. 4 4 7 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
Centripetal i.e. Normal acceleration $a_{N}$ at C is
$a _ {N} = \frac {v ^ {2}}{r _ {C}} = 2. 4 1 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$

Three blocks of identical masses are placed at rest on a smooth inclined plane with force acting on block A parallel to the inclined plane. Find the contact force between block B and C.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
$m_{A}=m_{B}=m_{C}=m$
Since, $F = \left( m_{A} + m_{B} + m_{C} \right) g \sin \theta$ and $N = m_{C} g \sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow N = \frac {m _ {C} F}{m _ {A} + m _ {B} + m _ {C}} = \left(\frac {m}{3 m}\right) 1 5 = 5 \mathrm{N}$
Since, $F = \left( m_{A} + m_{B} + m_{C} \right) g \sin \theta$ and $N = m_{C} g \sin \theta$
$\Rightarrow N = \frac {m _ {C} F}{m _ {A} + m _ {B} + m _ {C}} = \left(\frac {m}{3 m}\right) 1 5 = 5 \mathrm{N}$

A light string fixed at one end to a clamp on ground passes over a fixed pulley and hangs at the other side. It makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the ground. A monkey of mass 5 kg climbs up the rope. The clamp can tolerate a vertical force of 40 N only. Find the maximum acceleration in upward direction with which the monkey can climb safely is (Neglect friction and take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ )
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let $T$ be the tension in the string. The upward force exerted on the clamp is
$T \sin (3 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {T}{2}$

$\begin{array}{r l} & {\mathrm{Now} \frac {T}{2} = 4 0 \mathrm{N}} \\ & {\Rightarrow T = 8 0 \mathrm{N}} \\ & {\Rightarrow a = \frac {T - m g}{m} = \frac {8 0 - 5 0}{5} = 6 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}} \end{array}$
$T \sin (3 0 ^ {\circ}) = \frac {T}{2}$

$\begin{array}{r l} & {\mathrm{Now} \frac {T}{2} = 4 0 \mathrm{N}} \\ & {\Rightarrow T = 8 0 \mathrm{N}} \\ & {\Rightarrow a = \frac {T - m g}{m} = \frac {8 0 - 5 0}{5} = 6 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}} \end{array}$

A car begins to move at time t=0 and then accelerates along a straight track with a velocity given by
$V(t)=2t^{2}\ \mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ for $0\leq t\leq2$ , where t is time in second. After the end of acceleration, the car continues to move at a constant speed. A small block initially at rest on the floor of the car begins to slip at t=1 s and stops slipping at t=3 s. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are $\mu_{s}$ and $\mu_{k}$ respectively. Find the value of $\frac{3\mu_{s}}{\mu_{k}}$ .
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
$v = 2 t ^ {2}$
$ \Rightarrow a = 4 t$

At t = 1 s, slipping occurs, so we have
$\Rightarrow m a = \mu_ {s} m g$
$\Rightarrow 4 t = \mu_ {s} g$
$\Rightarrow \mu_ {s} = 0. 4$
So in the interval from t = 1 to t = 3 s, we observe that the slipping occurs between t = 1 and t = 2 s.
$\Rightarrow 4 t - \mu_ {k} g = \frac {d v}{d t}$
Integrating, we get
$v = \left(2 t ^ {2} - \mu_ {k} g t\right) \Big | _ {1} ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow \mu_ {k} = 0. 3$
$\Rightarrow \frac {3 \mu_ {s}}{\mu_ {k}} = 4$
$ \Rightarrow a = 4 t$

At t = 1 s, slipping occurs, so we have
$\Rightarrow m a = \mu_ {s} m g$
$\Rightarrow 4 t = \mu_ {s} g$
$\Rightarrow \mu_ {s} = 0. 4$
So in the interval from t = 1 to t = 3 s, we observe that the slipping occurs between t = 1 and t = 2 s.
$\Rightarrow 4 t - \mu_ {k} g = \frac {d v}{d t}$
Integrating, we get
$v = \left(2 t ^ {2} - \mu_ {k} g t\right) \Big | _ {1} ^ {2}$
$\Rightarrow \mu_ {k} = 0. 3$
$\Rightarrow \frac {3 \mu_ {s}}{\mu_ {k}} = 4$

Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let tension the thread connecting $m_{2}$ to the pulley $P_{1}$ be T and acceleration of $m_{2}$ be a. Then tension in the thread connecting lowest pulley $P_{3}$ to $m_{1}$ is 4 T and acceleration of $m_{1}$ is $\frac{a}{4}$ .
For $m_{1}$ : 40 - 4T = 4 $\left(\frac{a}{4}\right)$
For $m_{2}$ : $T = 1a$
$\Rightarrow 4 0 - 4 a = a$
$\Rightarrow 5 a = 4 0$
$\Rightarrow a = 8 \mathrm{ms} ^ {- 2}$
For $m_{1}$ : 40 - 4T = 4 $\left(\frac{a}{4}\right)$
For $m_{2}$ : $T = 1a$
$\Rightarrow 4 0 - 4 a = a$
