Anil has a two-wheeler that weighs 120 kg. After completing his work, he used to park his vehicle in the regular parking place which is in connected to the ground with a ramp of inclination 45^(@). If the length of ramp is 1 m, then calculate the work done by Anil to park the vehicle anginst gravity. ((g=10ms^(-2))

Answer»

10500 J
1005 J
1050 J
1500 J

Solution : `AC=100cm,BC=BA,AC^(2)=AB^(2)+BC^(2)`
Since inclination is `45^(@),AB=BC`
THEREFORE, `AC^(2)=2AB^(2)`
`impliesAB=sqrt""(10000//2)`
The WORK DONE by ANIL to park the vehicle against gravity `=mgh=mgxxAB""("since "h=AB)`

`=120xx10xx0.7`
`=1,050J`
Hence, the correct option is (c).

Ram used a crowbar of length 1.5 m as a II^(nd) order lever to displace a heavy sphere placed on the horizonat surface. If the crowbar applies a force of 240 N on the sphere at a distance of 100 cm from effort, then find the minimum effort applied by Ram to displace it.

Answer»


Solution : CROWBAR ACT as IInd order lever as shown below:

To APPLY minimum effort should be applied at the top of the crowbar as shown in the figure, then
Effort arm = Length of the crowbar = 1.5 m = 150 cm
Load arm = 150 cm-100 cm = 50 cm
`MA=("Effort arm")/("Load arm")=(150)/(50)=3`
`E=(L)/(MA)=(240)/(3)=80`
Minimum effort = 80 N

Static friction is a self-adjusting force . Jutify the statement .

Answer»

Solution :
Consider a block ofmassmconnected to a thread which runs over a pulley and the other end of it is CONNECTED to a pan. If we keep on ADDING SMALL weights, the block does not start sliding at the first attempt. The block starts moving only when the weights in the pan balance and are slightly greater than the frictional force (limiting friction) between the block and table. Since static friction itself will change or self~adjust to provide an equal and 'opposite force TILL the force applied to the object is LESS than or equal to maximum static friction.
