Two blocks of masses m1, m2 are connected by a light spring on a smooth horizontal surface. The two masses are pulled apart and the released. Prove that the ratio of their acceleration are inversely proportional to their masses. |
|
Answer» The forces F1 and F2 due to masses m1 and m2 respectively act on the stretched spring in opposite directions. Thus, the system as a whole is at Thus F1 + F2 = 0 or, m1a1 + m2a2 = 0 Where a1 and a2 are accelerated of the masses m1 and m2 respectively in the opposite direction. Now, m1a1 = -m2a2 or, a1/a2 = -m2/m1 which was to be established. |

Let us define a relation R in R as aRb if a ≥ b. Then R is A. an equivalence relation B. reflexive, transitive but not symmetric C. symmetric, transitive but D. neither transitive nor reflexive not reflexive but symmetric. |
|
Answer» Given that, aRb if a ≥ b Now, We observe that, a ≥ a since every a ∈ R is greater than or equal to itself. ⇒ a ≥ a ⇒ (a,a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ R ⇒ R is reflexive. Let (a,b) ∈ R ⇒ a ≥ b But b cannot be greater than a if a is greater than b. ⇒ (b,a) ∉ R For e.g., we observe that (5,2) ∈ R i.e 5 ≥ 2 but 2 ≱ 5 ⇒ (2,5) ∉ R ⇒ R is not symmetric Let (a,b) ∈ R and (b,c) ∈ R ⇒ a ≥ b and b ≥ c ⇒ a ≥ c ⇒ (a,c) ∈ R For e.g., we observe that (5,4) ∈ R ⇒ 5 ≥ 4 and (4,3) ∈ R ⇒ 4 ≥ 3 And we know that 5 ≥ 3 ∴ (5,3) ∈ R ⇒ R is transitive. Thus, R is reflexive, transitive but not symmetric. |
