A man squatting on the ground gets straight up and stand. The force of reaction of ground on the man during the process is.

A

constant and equal to mg in magnitude

B

constant and greater than mg in magnitude

C

variable but always greater than mg

D

at first greater than mg and later becomes equal to mg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(d) When the man is squatting on the ground he is tilted somewhat, hence he also has to balance frictional force besides his weight in this case.
R=reactional force=friction+mg
`Rightarrow Rgtmg`
When the man gets straight up in that case friction=0
Reactional force=mg

A man of mass 80kg pushes box of mass 20kg horizontaly. The man moves the box with a constant acceleration of 2 m//s^(2) but his foot does not slip on the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. whereas there is sufficient friction between the man's foot and the ground to prevent him from slipping. Assertion:- The force applied by the man on the box is equal and opposite to the force applied by the force applid by the box on the man. Reason:- Friction force applied by the ground on the man is 200N.
