  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    A man getting down a running bus, falls forward because-

    Solution

    The explanation is the question itself. Inertia is a property of which it resists its change of state of rest or state of motion, so as soon as the person jumps the lower part immediately comes to rest by sharing contact with the ground the upper body due to inertia of motion resists its change in state of motion.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    You are on a friction less horizontal plane. How can you get off if no horizontal force is exerted by pushing against the surface ?

    Solution

    Spitting or sneezing this is because you can not jump forward or backward or rolling or even run on the frictionless plane. So you have to throw anything out of your body by applying force Newton's third law follows here and you will escape out. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    The forces acting on an object are shown in the fig. If the body moves horizontally at a constant speed of 5 m/s, then the values of the forces P and S are, respectively-

    Solution

    As there is no net acceleration in horizontal or vertical direction, we can say that
    P = 300N
    And 2S = 2000N
    Thus S = 1000N

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    A boy of mass 50 Kg running at 5 m/s jumps on to a 20Kg trolley travelling in the same direction at 1.5 m/s. What is the common velocity?

    Solution

    Since no external force, law of conservation of momentum can be applied
    Initial Momentum

    Final momentum 
     
    where v is the common velocity
    Now we know that
    Initial momentum = Final momentum
    280 = 70v
    V = 4m/s

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

     

    Find the velocity of the hanging block if the velocities of the free ends of the rope are as indicated in the figure.

     

    Solution

     

     


    Workdone by T = 0
    ∴ ∑T⋅V = 0
    2T + T + 2TV = 0
    ⇒ − 3T = − 2TV (T & 2T are 180°)
    ∴ V = 3/2 m/s↑

     

     

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

     

    At a given instant, A is moving with velocity of 5 m/s upwards. What is velocity of B at the time

     

    Solution

     

     

    l1 = 2l2 + l= constant
    dl1/dt + 2dl2/dt + dl3/dt = 0
    −5 + 2(−5) + dl/dt = 0
    dl3/dt = 15m/s
    ⇒ v= 15m/s↓

     

     

     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    A body of mass 5 kg is suspended by the strings making angles 60º and 30º with the horizontal -

    (a) T1 = 25 N

    (b) T2 = 25 N

    (c) T1 = 25N

    (d) T2 = 25N

    Solution

    As the mass is at rest the resultant of forces acting on it are equal to zero so forces in vertical direction are 

    T1​sin30o + T2​sin60o − mg = 0

    similarly in horizontal direction

    T1​sin30− T2​sin60= 0

    solving above equations will give us 

    T1​+ √3​×√3​T1​ = 100

    T​= 25N

    T2​ = 25√3​N

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    A cyclist of mass 30 kg exerts a force of 250 N to move his cycle. acceleration is 4 ms−2. force of friction between road and tyres will be

    Solution

    Net Force = Force exerted by Cyclist - Frictional Force
    Also, according to newton's second law
    Fnet = m.a
    250 N - Frictional Force = 30x4
    ∴ Frictional Force = 250 - 120 N
    = 130 N

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

     

     In the arrangement shown in fig. the ends P and Q of an unstretchable string move downwards with uniform speed U. Pulleys A and B are fixed. Mass M moves upwards with a speed.

     

    Solution

     

     


    Thus option D is correct

     

     

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

     

    The velocity of end `A' of rigid rod placed between two smooth vertical walls moves with velocity `u' along vertical direction. Find out the velocity of end `B' of that rod, rod always remains in constant with the vertical walls.

     

    Solution

     

     

    Let say end b has some velocity v in horizontal direction. Thus by constraint motion we get the component of velocities along the rod of both the ends must be equal thus we get, 
    u.cos (90-q) = v.cos q
    Thus we get v = u.tan q

     

     

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    A cyclist of mass 30 kg exerts a force of 250 N to move his cycle. The acceleration is 4 ms−2. The force of friction between the road and tyres will be

    Solution

    As 250N is applied to move the cyclist and cycle, and lets say some frictional force f is acting upon it.
    Thus we get 250 - f = 30 x 4 =120
    Thus we get f = 130N

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

     

     Find out the reading of the weighing machine in the following cases.

     

    Solution

     

     

    N = mgcosФ    
    = 2 x 10 x cos30    
    = 2 x 10 x √3 / 2  
    = 10√3 N 

     

     

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

     

    A mass M is suspended by a rope from a rigid support at A as shown in figure. Another rope is tied at the end B, and it is pulled horizontally with a force F. If the rope AB makes an angle q with the vertical in equilibrium, then the tension in the string AB is :

     

    Solution

     

     

    As the block is still at the equilibrium, we get 
    T.cos q = mg
    T.sin q = F
    Thus we T = F / sin q

     

     

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    Three block are connected as shown, on a horizontal frictionless table and pulled to the right with a force T3 = 60 N. If m1 = 10 kg, m2 = 20 kg and m3 = 30 kg, the tension T2 is-

    Solution

    Let a be the acceleration of the system.
    T1​ = M1​a  .....(1)
    T​− T​= M2​a  ....(2)
    F − T2​ = M3​a  ......(3)
    Adding (1), (2) and (3)  we get
    (M1​ + M2​ + M3​)a = F
    or (10+20+30)a = 60
    ⇒ a = 1m/s2
    Now , T2 ​= (M1​+M2​)a
    ⇒ (10+20)(1) = 30N

  • Question 15
    1 / -0

     Three blocks A, B and C are suspended as shown in the figure. Mass of each blocks A and C is m. If system is in equilibrium and mass of B is M, then :

                    

    Solution


    Given,
    Mass of block A & B = m
    Mass of block C = M
    Let,
    Mass of A = mA​ & Mass of B = mB
    Tension in string is = T
    At equilibrium, T = mA​g = mB​g = mg
    Weight of block C is = Mg 
    Forces on block C,
    2Tcosθ = Mgcosθ
    ⇒ Mg/2T = Mg/2mg
    ⇒ ​M/2m
    If 0< θ <90° then 1> cosθ >0
    1> M/2m >0
    2m > M
    Hence, 2m > M

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

     

    A weight can be hung in any of the following four ways by string of same type. In which case is the string most likely to break ?

     

    Solution

     

     

    • In all the given cases the cos component of the tension in the string would balance the weight of the block while the sine component will cancel themselves as they are in pair.
    • The larger would be the angle the smaller would be the cos component but as its value is fixed i.e. is mg, we get the larger the angle the larger the tension and hence the more chances of breaking of the rope.

     

     

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    A force-time graph for a linear motion is shown in figure where the segments are circular. The linear momentum gained between zero and 8 seconds in -

                        

    Solution

    Momentum is rate of change of force according to the given graph initial and final forces are same ie, no change in force therefore b/w 0 and 8 seconds linear momentum is 0.

  • Question 18
    1 / -0

    A particle moves in the xy plane under the action of a force F such that the value of its linear momentum (P) at any time t is, Px = 2 cost, Py = 2 sint. The angle q between P and F at that time t will be -

    Solution

    Fx = dpx / dt = - 2sint
    Fy = dpy / dt = 2cost
    So angle between F and will be 90º  because we see that their dot product is zero.

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    A stunt man jumps his car over a crater as shown (neglect air resistance)

    Solution

    • As the car is in free fall condition it's acceleration will be g downwards.
    • Applying pseudo force mg in upward direction , it's weight acts downwards, hence, net force on stunt man is zero and it experience weightless ness.

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    A particle of mass 50 gram moves on a straight line. The variation of speed with time is shown in figure. find the force acting on the particle at t = 2, 4 and 6 seconds.

                         

    Solution

    • To know the force acting on the particle, we need to know the acceleration of the particle. In the velocity-time graph the slope of the curve gives the instantaneous acceleration. Let us find it for the given instant.
    • At t=2 seconds
      The graph is a straight line with positive slope. It means the particle has a constant acceleration with magnitude =15/3 =5 m/s.
      So the force acting on it = mass x acceleration = 0.05 kg x 5 m/s
      = 0.25 N, it acts along the motion because it is positive.
    • At t=4 seconds
      The graph is horizontal to time axis meaning thereby the velocity is constant and no acceleration. It can be understood in this way too that the slope which represents acceleration is zero. Since there is no acceleration at t=4 s. so there is no force acting on the particle at this instant, Force= zero.
    • At t=6 seconds
      The graph shows that velocity is uniformly decreasing with the time and the acceleration which is represented by the slope is negative. From the graph value of acceleration = -15/3 =-5 m/s
      Force = mass x acceleration = 0.05 x -5 N =-0.25 N
    • So the force acting on the particle is 0.25 N and negative sign shows that its direction is opposite to the motion.

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

     

    Two blocks are in contact on a frictionless table. One has mass m and the other 2m. A force F is applied on 2m as shown in the figure. Now the same force F is applied from the right on m. In the two cases respectively, the ratio force of contact between the two block will be :

     

    Solution

     

     

    • If F is applied force then acceleration of the system is F/2m + m = F/3m
    • Now when we apply the force from the left, the force applied on the block m is F/3m = F/3. This will be the force in the contact.
    • When we apply the force from the right from on the block will be 2Fm/3 = 2F/3, this will be the force on the contact then.

    So the ratio is F/3 : 2F/3 = 1 : 3

     

     

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

     

     A body of mass 8 kg is hanging another body of mass 12 kg. The combination is being pulled by a string with an acceleration of 2.2 m s-2. The tension T1 and T2 will be respectively : (use g = 9.8 m/s2)

     

    Solution

     

     

    The tension T1 and T2 will be 240 N, 96 N.
    Mass of the body = m1 = 12kg (Given)
    Mass of the body = m2 = 8kg (Given)
    Acceleration of the string - 2.2m/s² (Given)
    Considering positive direction upwards -  
    Thus,
    T1− (m1+m2)g = (m1+m2)a
    T1 = (m1+m2)g + (m1+m2)a
    T1= (12+8)(2.2)+(12+8)(9.8)
    T1 = 44 + 196
    = 240 N
    T2− (m2)g=(m2)a
    T2=(m2)g+(m2)a
    T2= (8)(2.2)+(8)(9.8)
    T2 = 17.6 + 78.4  
    = 96 N

     

     

  • Question 23
    1 / -0

    A rope of mass 5 kg is moving vertically in vertical position with an upwards force of 100 N acting at the upper end and a downwards force of 70 N acting at the lower end. The tension at midpoint of the rope is

    Solution

    When you are given one upward and one downward force on a rope of some mass, and you have to find the tension at the mid- point, then you can simply average the 2 forces. So, the correct answer is (100+70)/3 = 85N

  • Question 24
    1 / -0

    A particle of small mass m is joined to a very heavy body by a light string passing over a light pulley. Both bodies are free to move. The total downward force in the pulley is

    Solution

    The heavy body will fall due to accelaration due to gravity.The accelaration of the lighter body wil be 'g' in upward direction.Taking the equlibrium of the small body 

    T - mg = ma

    but a = g

    Therefore

    T - mg = mg

    T = 2mg

    reation at the pulley

    2T = 4mg

  • Question 25
    1 / -0

     

    The pulley arrangements shown in figure are identical the mass of the rope being negligible. In case I, the mass m is lifted by attaching a mass 2 m to the other end of the rope. In case II, the mass m is lifted by pulling the other end of the rope with cosntant downward force F = 2 mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration of mass in case I is

     

    Solution

     

     

    When we make the free body diagram of two mass system in case 1, we get the equation
    2mg - mg = (2m + m) a
    Thus we get a = g/3
    But in the case 2 the equations is as follows
    2mg - mg = ma
    Thus we get a - g here.

     

     

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    Two masses M1 and M2 are attached to the ends of a light string which passes over a massless pulley attached to the top of a double inclined smooth plane of angles of inclination a and b. The tension in the string is:

                

    Solution

    If we straighten the string horizontally hypothetically and make the free body diagram for the whole two block system we get that
    M1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ = (M1 + M2)a
    For some net acceleration of the system a
    Such that a = M1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ / (M1 + M2)
    Hence if we make a free body diagram of mass 1 only we get
    M1g.sinɑ - T = M1a
    Thus we get T = M1 ( g.sinɑ - a )
    = M1( g.sinɑ - [M1g.sinɑ - M2g.sinβ / (M1 + M2) ] )
    = M1( M2 (sinɑ + sinβ )f / (M1 + M2) )

  • Question 27
    1 / -0

    Two masses are hanging vertically over frictionless pulley. The acceleration of the two masses is-

    Solution

    Free Body Diagram:

    Fnet = m2g - m1g
    F = (m+ m2) a
    m2g - m1g = (m+ m2) a

  • Question 28
    1 / -0

     Three equal weights A, B, C of mass 2 kg each are hanging on a string passing over a fixed frictionless pulley as shown in the fig. The tension in the string connecting weights B and C is-

    Solution

    For some time let us consider B and C to be one single block of mass 4kg. Now if we make the free body diagram for blocks A, B, C we get the net acceleration of the system by equation
    4.g - 2.g = 6.a
    Thus we get a = g/3
    Now if we only make a F.B.D. of block C, we get
    2.g - T = 2.a
    Thus T = 2 (g - g/3)
    = 4g/3
    = 13.3 N

  • Question 29
    1 / -0

     

    In the arrangement shown in figure, pulleys are massless and frictionless and threads are inextensible. The Block of mass m1 will remain at rest, if

     

    Solution

     

     


    a = [(m3​−m2 )/(m2​+m3​) ​​]g  (m> m2)
    T = [2m2​m3​g] / [m2​+m3] ​
    ​T′ = 2T = [4m2​m3​g​] / [m2​+m3​]
    m1​g = 4m2​m3​g​m / m2​+m3
    4/m1​ = [1/m2​​] + [1/m3​]​​

     

     

  • Question 30
    1 / -0

    A block is placed on a rough floor and a horizontal force F is applied on it. The force of friction f by the floor on the block is measured for different values of F and a graph is plotted between them-

    Solution


    For a small value of the applied force the force of friction f increases linearly upto the limiting friction. When it crosses the maximum point of static friction then the friction force due to kinetic friction does not change any more.
