Q1 of 21 Page 109

A constant force of 12 N acts on a body for 4 s. Find the change in the linear momentum of the body.

Force = F =12 N

T = 4 s


Let,


m = mass of the body


v = initial velocity


u = final velocity


We know,







Let,


Initial momentum


Final momentum





So change in momentum =





Change in momentum =

Two blocks of masses 2kg and 4kg are hanging with the help of a massless string passing over an ideal pulley inside an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with an acceleration g/2. The tension in the string connected between the blocks will be (take g = 10 ms–2)

a) 40N


b) 60N


c) 80N


d) 20N

A man of mass 60 kg is standing on a light weighing machine kept in a box of mass 30 kg. The box is hanging from a pulley fixed to the ceiling through a light rope the other end of which is held by the man himself. If he manages to keep the box at rest

(a) What is the weight shown by the machine?


(b) What force should the man exert on the rope to get his correct weight on the machine?
