Two forces 25 N and 16 N act on a body of mass 1.0 kg. The minimum acceleration will be

A

`25ms^(-2)`

B

`16ms^(-2)`

C

`9ms^(-2)`

D

`41ms^(-2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Resultant force is minimum, when forces act in opposite directions. Minimum force will generate minimum acceleration in a mass.
Minimum acceleration = `("Minimum force")/("Mass")`
`implies a_("min") = (25 - 16)/1 = 9 ms^(-2)`
