Laws of Motion

Question 21: easy

The ratio of tension T1 and T2 is (strings are massless)

1. 7 : 2
2. 7 : 5
3. 5 : 2
4. 2 : 7
View Answer

For Equilibrium Condition,

 

T1 = 70 N and T2 = 50 N so, T1: T2 = 7 : 5neet equilibrium question

Question 22: easy

A man of mass m is standing on a board and pulling the board of mass m up with force F by the pulley system as shown. Normal reaction between man and board is

 

neet question for equilibrium NLM

1. mg – F
2. mg + F
3. (m + M) g + F
4. (m – M)g – F
View Answer

As the person is in equilibrium net force acting on it should be zero,

so, mg = N + F

⇒ N = mg - F

Question 23: easy

In the arrangement shown, the normal reaction between the block A and ground is:

 

1. 10 N
2. 20 N
3. 30 N
4. 40 N
View Answer

Weight of block AA = 4×10=404 \times 10 = 40 N.

Weight of block BB = 2×10=202 \times 10 = 20 N.

Tension in the string TT = Weight of BB = 20 N.

Normal reaction on AA, N=N = Weight of AA – Tension TT = 4020=2040 - 20 = 20 N.

Question 24: easy

The value of frictional force on block in the given diagram is (Take g = 10 m/s²)

1. 4 N
2. 5 N
3. 6 N
4. 9 N
View Answer

Maximum friction force acting on the object will be uN= 0.3 * 30 = 9 N

But applied force is 5N so friction force acting on the object will be 5N

Question 25: easy

In translatory equilibrium

1. The net external force acting on particle is zero
2. The net external force acting on particle is constant (non-zero)
3. Particle is always at rest
4. Velocity of particle changes linearly with time
View Answer

In translational equilibrium the net force acting on the object is zero. so the object moves with constant velocity.

Question 26: easy

The minimum value of coefficient of friction (μ) such that block of mass ‘5 kg’ remains at rest is

1. 0.3
2. 0.4
3. 0.5
4. 0.6
View Answer

Given

m1=5m_1 = 5

kg,

m2=3m_2 = 3

kg, and

g=10g = 10

m/s²:

  • Tension:
    T=m2g=3×10=30T = m_2 g = 3 \times 10 = 30
     

    N

  • Friction force:
    f=μN=μ×50f = \mu N = \mu \times 50
     
  • At equilibrium:
    μ×50=30\mu \times 50 = 30
     

Solving,

μ=3050=0.6\mu = \frac{30}{50} = 0.6

.

Question 27: easy

Sand is poured on a conveyor belt at the rate of 2 kg/s. If belt is moving horizontally with velocity 4 m/s, then additional force required by engine to keep the belt moving with same constant velocity

1. 8 N
2. 10 N
3. 12 N
4. 14 N
View Answer

The force required to keep the conveyor belt moving at a constant velocity is given by the rate of change of momentum.

Momentum of sand per second:

Force=dPdt=dmdt×v\text{Force} = \frac{\text{dP}}{\text{dt}} = \frac{\text{dm}}{\text{dt}} \times v

Given dmdt=2\frac{dm}{dt} = 2 kg/s and v=4v = 4 m/s,

F=2×4=8 NF = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ N}

Thus, the additional force required is 8 N.

Question 28: easy

The force F needed to keep the block at equilibrium in given figure is (pulley and string are massless)

For Equilibrium,

2F = Mg ⇒ F = Mg/2

Question 29: easy

A block of mass m is in contact with the cart. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is ü. The acceleration a of the cart that prevent the block from falling will be

 

 

neet pseudo force questions

1. a> (mg/ü)
2. a> (g/ü.m)
3. a ≥ (g/ü)
4. a ≤ (g/ü)
View Answer

The condition to prevent the block from falling is that the friction force must be at least equal to the weight of the block:

fsmgf_s \geq mg

Since static friction is given by fs=μNf_s = \mu N and the normal force is due to pseudo force N=maN = ma, we get:

μmamg\mu ma \geq mg

Dividing both sides by μm\mu m:

agμa \geq \frac{g}{\mu}

Thus, the required acceleration of the cart is agμa \geq \frac{g}{\mu}.

Question 30: easy

A truck is stationary and has a bob suspended by a light string, in a frame attached to the truck. The truck suddenly moves to the right with an acceleration of a. The pendulum will tilt

1. To the left and angle of inclination of the pendulum with the vertical is tan-¹(g/a)
2. To the left and angle of inclination of the pendulum with the vertical is sin-¹(g/a)
3. To the left and angle of inclination of the pendulum with the vertical is tan-¹(a/g)
4. To the left and angle of inclination of the pendulum with the vertical is sin-¹(a/g)
View Answer

When the truck accelerates to the right with aa, a pseudo force mama acts to the left on the bob in the truck's frame. The bob reaches equilibrium where the tension components balance forces:

tanθ=Pseudo forceWeight=mamg=ag\tan \theta = \frac{\text{Pseudo force}}{\text{Weight}} = \frac{ma}{mg} = \frac{a}{g} θ=tan1(ag)\theta = \tan^{-1} \left(\frac{a}{g} \right)

Thus, the pendulum tilts to the left at an angle θ=tan1(a/g)\theta = \tan^{-1}(a/g) with the vertical.
