A lift ascends with a constant acceleration of 4 m s^(-2) then with a constant velocity v and finally stops under a constant retardation of 4 m s^(-2). If the total height ascended be 20 m and the total time taken is 6 s then the time during which the lift was movitng with a vclocity nu is

2a
3s
4s
5s

Solution :Velocity at the end of t sec with acceleration `4 MS^(-2)`
`nu=u +atimplies nu=0+4t`
`t_(1)` is the TIME for which lift ascends with constant velocity Total time `= 2t+t_(1)=6s`
Area under velocity - time GRAPH gives the displacement
`(1)/(2) (2t+2t_(1))4t =20`
`(t+t_(1))t=5`
PUTTING value of `t_(1)=6-2t` from (i ) in (ii)
`(t+6-2t) t=5`
(6-t) t=5
`t^(2)-6t+5=0`
(t-1)(t-5) =0
t=1 s or t=5 s ,
since t=5 s is not possble
So, `t_(1)=4 s`
