The acceleration of the 2 kg block if the free end of string is pulled with a force of 20 N as shown is

A

zero

B

`10 ms^(-2)`

C

`5 ms^(-2)` upwards

D

`5 ms^(-2)` downward

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
(b) Upward force on 2 kg block in upward direction will be 40 N(=2F) in the form of tension.

` therefore a=(40-20)/(2)=10 ms^(-2)`

The coefficient of friction between the block and the weight is 0.25 Calculate the acceleration of the block and the weightand also the frictional force between the block and the weight when a horizontal force 2 N applied to the weight as shown in fig What will these quantities be if the horizontal force is 20 N? (g = 10ms^(-2))

Find the acceleration a_(1) , a_(2) and a_(3) of the three blocks shown in Fig if a horizontal force of 10 N is applied on (a) 2 kg blocks, (b) 3 kg blocks and ( c) 7 kg blocks (Take g = 10 ms^(-2))

One end of a string of length L is tied to the ceiling of a lift accelerating upwards with an acceleration 2g. The other end o the string is free. The linear mass density of the string varies linearly from 0 to lamda from bottom to top. The acceleration of a wave pulled through out the string is (pg)/(4) . Find p.

A string is wrapped around the rim of a wheel of moment of inertia 0.20 kg-m^2 and radius 20 cm. The wheel is free to rotate about it axis. Initially, the wheel is at rest. The string is now pulled by a force of 20 N. Find the angular velocity of the wheel after 5.0 seconds.

Two masses of 5 kg and 10 kg are suspended from a fixed support as shown in the figure. The system is pulled downwards with a force of 150 N applied to the lower mass. The string attached to the support breaks and the system accelerates downwards. If the downward force continues to act, the acceleration of the center of mass of the system is :

A block of mass 2 kg is hanging over a smooth and light pulley through a light string. The other end of the string is pulled by a constant force F = 40 N. The kinetic energy of the particle increases 40 J in a given interval of time. Then, (g = 10 m//s^(2))
