The equation of motion of m1 = 10 kg mass is
F1 = m1a1 = 10 x 12 = 120 N
Force on 10 kg mass is 120 N to the right. As action and reaction are equal and opposite, the reaction force F- on 20 kg mass F = 120 N to the left.
therefore, equation of motion of mass m2 = 20 kg is
200 - F = 20 a2
200-120 = 20a2
80 = 20a2
a2 = 80 /20 = 4 m/s2
A cylinder rolls up an inclined plane, reaches some height and then rolls down (without slipping throuhgout these motions). The directions of the frictional force acting on the cylinder are
Up the incline, while ascending and down the incline while descending
Up the incline, while ascending as well as descending
down the incline, while ascending and up the incline while descending
Down the incline while ascending as well as descending.
A long block A of mass M is at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. A small block B of mass M/2 is placed on A at one end and projected along A with same velocity v. The coefficient of friction between the block is μ. Then the acceleration of blocks A and B before reaching a common velocity will be respectively
A uniform rod of length l is free to rotate in a vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through B. The rod begins rotating from rest from its unstable equilibrium position. When, it has turned through an angle θ, its angular velocity ω is given by
A stick of length L and mass M lies on a frictionless horizontal surface on which it is free to move in any way. A ball of mass m moving with speed V collides elastically with the stick as shown in fig below. If after the collision, the ball comes to rest, then what should be the mass of the ball?
m = 2M
m = M
m= M/2
m = M/A
