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.

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 10 days, 12 days and 15 days respectively. How long will they take to finish it if they work together?

Answer»

Number of days A required do a piece of work : 10 

Number of days B required do a piece of work : 12 

Number of days C required do a piece of work : 15

Work done by A in one day: \(\frac{1}{10}\)

Work done by C in one day: \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Work done by C in one day: \(\frac{1}{15}\)

Work done by A, B and C together in one day: \(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{15}{60}=\frac{1}{4}\)

∴ They can do the work together in 4 days .

Anil can do a piece of work in 5 days and Ankur in 4 days. How long will they will do the same work, if they work together?

Answer»

Given,

 Anil can do a piece of work in 5 days

 Work done by him in 1 day \(=\frac{1}{5}\)

Ankur can do same work in 4 days

 Work done by Ankur in 1 day \(=\frac{1}{4}\)

∵ Work done by both in 1 day \(=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{20}\)

∴ Total work done in \(=\frac{20}{9}={2}\frac{2}{9}\) days.
