Ten one-rupee coins are put on top of each other on a table. Each coin has a massÂ m. Give the magnitude and direction of,

(a) the force on the 7thÂ coin (counted from the bottom) due to all the coins on its top,

(b) the force on the 7thÂ coin by the eighth coin,

(c) the reaction of the 6th coin on the 7thÂ coin.

(a)Â Force on the seventh coin is exerted by the weight of the three coins on its top.

Weight of one coin =Â mg

Weight of three coins = 3mg

Hence, the force exerted on the 7thÂ coin by the three coins on its top is 3mg.

This force acts vertically downward.

(b)Â Force on the seventh coin by the eighth coin is because of the weight of the eighth coin and the other two coins (ninth and tenth) on its top.

Weight of the eighth coin =Â mg

Weight of the ninth coin =Â mg

Weight of the tenth coin =Â mg

Total weight of these three coins = 3mgÂ

Hence, the force exerted on the 7thÂ coin by the eighth coin is 3mg.

This force acts vertically downward.

(c)Â The 6thÂ coin experiences a downward force because of the weight of the four coins (7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th) on its top.Â

Therefore, the total downward force experienced by the 6thcoin is 4mg.Â

As per Newtonâ€™s third law of motion, the 6thÂ coin will produce an equal reaction force on the 7thÂ coin, but in the opposite direction.

Hence, the reaction force of the 6
thÂ coin on the 7thcoin is of magnitude 4mg.

This force acts in the upward direction.Â

When the branches of an apple tree are shaken, the apples fall down. Why?

The apple fall from an apple tree when it shaken because of inertia of rest. Apple is in a state of rest and when the tree is suddenly shaken, apples still tends to remain in it's same state of rest whereas branches move.Â

So, the apples fall down.Â

Define inertia.

The property by virtue of which the body cannot change its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless an external force is acting on the body is called as Inertia.Â

State Galileoâ€™s law of motion.

Galileoâ€™s law of motion states that, a bodyÂ continues to move in the same direction with constant speed, if no force is acting on the body.Â
