A train has 10 wagons each of mass 1000 kg attached to it. They are being pulled by force $10^{4}$ N. The force exerted on last four wagons is $N \times 10^{3}$ N. Value of N is –
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Ans. (4)
Mass of 10 wagons = $1000 \times 10 = 10000\mathrm{kg}$ So $acc. = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{10^4}{10000} = 1m / s^2$ So on last 4 wagons;
T = (mass × acc.)
= (4 × 1000)(1)
T = 4000 N
Mass of 10 wagons = $1000 \times 10 = 10000\mathrm{kg}$ So $acc. = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{10^4}{10000} = 1m / s^2$ So on last 4 wagons;
T = (mass × acc.)
= (4 × 1000)(1)
T = 4000 N

Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Ans. (9)

$V_A = \frac{V_1 + V_2}{2}$[Pulley 1]
$V_1 + V_2 = 2V_A$...(i)
$\frac{V_A + V_1}{2} = V_3$[Pulley 2]
$V_A + V_1 = 0$...(ii)
$\Rightarrow V_1 = -0.6$
$-0.6 + V_2 = 2V_A$
$V_2 = 2 \times 0.6 + 0.6$
$V_2 = 1.8\ m/s$
$V_B = V_2 = 1.8\ m/s$

$V_A = \frac{V_1 + V_2}{2}$[Pulley 1]
$V_1 + V_2 = 2V_A$...(i)
$\frac{V_A + V_1}{2} = V_3$[Pulley 2]
$V_A + V_1 = 0$...(ii)
$\Rightarrow V_1 = -0.6$
$-0.6 + V_2 = 2V_A$
$V_2 = 2 \times 0.6 + 0.6$
$V_2 = 1.8\ m/s$
$V_B = V_2 = 1.8\ m/s$

If the bead is released from rest at the top of the rod, then the time (in second) when it will reach at the bottom is $\frac{n}{2}$ , find the value of n. $[g = 10 \, m/s^{2}]$
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Ans. (1)
$f = \mu N = \mu m a = \frac {1}{2} m \times a = \frac {m a}{2}$
$m g - \frac {m a}{2} = m a _ {1}$
$1 0 - 2 = a _ {1}$
$a _ {1} = 8$
$s = \frac {1}{2} a _ {1} t ^ {2}$

$1 = \frac {1}{2} 8 t ^ {2}$
$t = \frac {1}{2} \sec$
$f = \mu N = \mu m a = \frac {1}{2} m \times a = \frac {m a}{2}$
$m g - \frac {m a}{2} = m a _ {1}$
$1 0 - 2 = a _ {1}$
$a _ {1} = 8$
$s = \frac {1}{2} a _ {1} t ^ {2}$

Initially the block A is $\sqrt{2}m$ behind the block B. Coefficient of kinetic friction for the blocks A and B are 0.2 and 0.3 respectively ( $g = 10 \, m/s^{2}$ )
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Ans. (2)
For motion of a body, down the inclined plane, we have
Force on body = mg sin $45^{\circ} - \mu R$
$m \times \text{acceleration} = mg (\sin 45^{\circ} - \mu mg \cos 45^{\circ})$
$m a = m g \left(\sin 4 5 ^ {\circ} - \mu \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}\right)$
$m a = \frac {m g}{\sqrt {2}} (1 - \mu)$
$a = \frac {g (1 - \mu)}{\sqrt {2}}\tag{... (i}$

For body A,
$\begin{array}{l} a _ {A} = \frac {g (1 - \mu_ {A})}{\sqrt {2}} \\ a _ {A} = \frac {1 0 (1 - 0 . 2)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {8}{\sqrt {2}} = 4 \sqrt {2} m / s ^ {2} \end{array}\tag{... (ii}$
For body B,
$\begin{array}{l} a _ {B} = \frac {g (1 - \mu_ {B})}{\sqrt {2}} \\ a _ {B} = \frac {1 0 (1 - 0 . 3)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {7}{\sqrt {2}} = 3. 5 \sqrt {2} m / s ^ {2} \end{array}\tag{... (iii}$
A and B are released simultaneously. They travel for time t. Let A slide by a distance $S_{A}$ . along plane and let B slid by a distance $S_{B}$ along plane till they come on the same line on the inclined plane.
$\therefore S _ {A} = S _ {B} + \sqrt {2}$
$\frac{1}{2} a_{A}t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} a_{B}t^{2} + \sqrt{2}$ , Where $t$ is time taken
$\frac {1}{2} \times (4 \sqrt {2}) \times t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} (3. 5 \sqrt {2}) \times t ^ {2} + \sqrt {2},$
From (2) and (3)
$2 t ^ {2} = \frac {3 . 5}{2} t ^ {2} + 1 \Rightarrow 0. 5 t ^ {2} = 2 \Rightarrow t = 2 \sec \quad \dots (\mathrm{iv})$
$\therefore \quad S _ {A} = \frac {1}{2} a _ {A} t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} \times (4 \sqrt {2}) (2) ^ {2} = 8 \sqrt {2} m\tag{...(V}$
Hence $S_{A}=8\sqrt{2}m, S_{B}=7\sqrt{2}m, t=2$ second
For motion of a body, down the inclined plane, we have
Force on body = mg sin $45^{\circ} - \mu R$
$m \times \text{acceleration} = mg (\sin 45^{\circ} - \mu mg \cos 45^{\circ})$
$m a = m g \left(\sin 4 5 ^ {\circ} - \mu \cos 4 5 ^ {\circ}\right)$
$m a = \frac {m g}{\sqrt {2}} (1 - \mu)$
$a = \frac {g (1 - \mu)}{\sqrt {2}}\tag{... (i}$

For body A,
$\begin{array}{l} a _ {A} = \frac {g (1 - \mu_ {A})}{\sqrt {2}} \\ a _ {A} = \frac {1 0 (1 - 0 . 2)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {8}{\sqrt {2}} = 4 \sqrt {2} m / s ^ {2} \end{array}\tag{... (ii}$
For body B,
$\begin{array}{l} a _ {B} = \frac {g (1 - \mu_ {B})}{\sqrt {2}} \\ a _ {B} = \frac {1 0 (1 - 0 . 3)}{\sqrt {2}} = \frac {7}{\sqrt {2}} = 3. 5 \sqrt {2} m / s ^ {2} \end{array}\tag{... (iii}$
A and B are released simultaneously. They travel for time t. Let A slide by a distance $S_{A}$ . along plane and let B slid by a distance $S_{B}$ along plane till they come on the same line on the inclined plane.
$\therefore S _ {A} = S _ {B} + \sqrt {2}$
$\frac{1}{2} a_{A}t^{2} = \frac{1}{2} a_{B}t^{2} + \sqrt{2}$ , Where $t$ is time taken
$\frac {1}{2} \times (4 \sqrt {2}) \times t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} (3. 5 \sqrt {2}) \times t ^ {2} + \sqrt {2},$
From (2) and (3)
$2 t ^ {2} = \frac {3 . 5}{2} t ^ {2} + 1 \Rightarrow 0. 5 t ^ {2} = 2 \Rightarrow t = 2 \sec \quad \dots (\mathrm{iv})$
$\therefore \quad S _ {A} = \frac {1}{2} a _ {A} t ^ {2} = \frac {1}{2} \times (4 \sqrt {2}) (2) ^ {2} = 8 \sqrt {2} m\tag{...(V}$
Hence $S_{A}=8\sqrt{2}m, S_{B}=7\sqrt{2}m, t=2$ second
