Q14 2025 Friction
A block of mass 25 kg is pulled along a horizontal surface by a force at an angle 45^circ with the horizontal. The friction coefficient between the block and the surface is 0.25. The work done for a displacement of 5 m of the block with uniform velocity is:
  • A. 970 J
  • B. 735 J
  • C. 245 J
  • D. 490 J

Solution

### Related Formula N + Fsintheta = mg implies N = mg - Fsintheta Fcostheta = f_k = mu_k N W = F cdot S cdot costheta ### Core Logic Since the block moves with uniform velocity, horizontal acceleration is zero. Fcos(45^circ) = mu [mg - Fsin(45^circ)] fracFsqrt2 = 0.25 left[25 times 9.8 - fracFsqrt2right] fracFsqrt2 = 61.25 - 0.25 fracFsqrt2 implies 1.25 fracFsqrt2 = 61.25 ### Step 1: Compute Force and Work Done fracFsqrt2 = frac61.251.25 = 49 implies F = 49sqrt2text N The work done by the external force over displacement S=5text m is: W = F S cos(45^circ) = (49sqrt2) times 5 times frac1sqrt2 = 245text J

Q12 2025 Equilibrium of Forces
A body of mass m is suspended by two strings making angles theta1 and theta_2 with the horizontal ceiling with tensions T_1 and T_2 simultaneously. T_1 and T_2 are related by T_1=sqrt3T_2 the angles \theta_{1} and \theta_{2} are
  • A. theta_1=30^circ, theta_2=60^circtext with T_2=frac3mg4
  • B. theta_1=60^circ, theta_2=30^circtext with T_2=fracmg2
  • C. theta_1=45^circ, theta_2=45^circtext with T_2=frac3mg4
  • D. theta_1=30^circ, theta_2=60^circtext with T_2=frac4mg5

Solution

### Related Formula Horizontal equilibrium equation: T_1 costheta_1 = T_2 costheta_2 Vertical balancing equation: T_1 sintheta_1 + T_2 sintheta_2 = mg ### Core Logic Substitute T_1 = sqrt3T_2 into horizontal equilibrium: sqrt3T_2 costheta_1 = T_2 costheta_2 implies sqrt3costheta_1 = costheta_2 ### Step 1: Audit Options Pattern Match Let's check option (2) where theta_1 = 60^circ and theta_2 = 30^circ: sqrt3cos(60^circ) = sqrt3 cdot frac12 = fracsqrt32 cos(30^circ) = fracsqrt32 This perfectly matches the horizontal check expression constraints. ### Step 2: Solve for T2 Now map the variables into the vertical component balancing equation: T_2 left[ sqrt3sin(60^circ) + sin(30^circ) ight] = mg T_2 left[ sqrt3left(fracsqrt32 ight) + frac12 ight] = mg T_2 left[ frac32 + frac12 ight] = mg implies T_2 (2) = mg implies T_2 = fracmg2 ### Pattern Recognition Lami's Theorem or standard rectangular splitting. When tension is scaled by sqrt3, it directly hints at complementary 30^circ-60^circ geometric alignments. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Physics: Laws of Motion

A balloon and its content having mass M is moving up with an acceleration 'a'. The mass that must be released from the content so that the balloon starts moving up with an acceleration '3a' will be : (Take 'g' as acceleration due to gravity) [cite: 174, 175]

  • B. frac3 mathrmMa2 mathrma + mathrmg
  • C. frac2 mathrmMa3 mathrma + mathrmg
  • D. frac2 mathrmMa3 mathrma - mathrmg

Solution

### Related Formula By Newton's second law of motion, the net upward force acting on an accelerating balloon system is given by: F_textbuoyant - m_texttotal g = m_texttotal a ### Core Logic Let F be the constant buoyant force acting upward on the balloon. **Case 1 (Initial upward acceleration)** : F - M g = M a implies F = M(g + a) quad text **Case 2 (After releasing mass x)** : The new total mass becomes (M - x), and its acceleration increases to 3a: F - (M - x)g = (M - x)3a quad text Substitute the value of F from Case 1 into Case 2 [cite: 836, 839]: M(g + a) - (M - x)g = (M - x)3a M g + M a - M g + x g = 3 M a - 3 x a quad text M a + x g = 3 M a - 3 x a x(g + 3a) = 2 M a x = frac2 M a3a + g quad text ### Step 1: Visual Context The free-body force layout for both accelerating phases is shown below:

### Pattern Recognition Since the upward buoyant force is completely determined by the balloon's volume, it remains constant.
