A block of mass 5kg is (i) pushed in case (A) and (ii) pulled in case (B), by a force F = 20N, making an angle of 30 ^

Options

  1. A3.2ms−23.2m{s}^{- 2}
  2. B0ms−20m{s}^{- 2}
  3. C0.8ms−20.8m{s}^{- 2}
  4. D0.4ms−20.4m{s}^{- 2}

Correct answer

C. 0.8ms−20.8m{s}^{- 2}

Step-by-step solution

For Block A:
A block of mass 5kg is (i) pushed in case (A) and (ii) pulled in case (B), by a force F = 20N, making an angle of 30 ^
N=mg+Fsin30°N = mg + Fsin 30 °
=5×10+20×12= 5 \times 10 + 20 \times \dfrac{1}{2}
=60N= 60N
fr=(0.2)(60)=12N{f}_{r} = \left(0.2\right)\left(60\right) = 12N
Fcos 30 ° – {f}_{r} = ma<br/><br />20\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 12 = 5 \times a<br/><br />⇒ {a}_{A} = \dfrac{10\sqrt{3} - 12}{5}&hellip;&hellip;(i)<br />For Block B:<br /><img src="https://cdn-question-pool.Quantrex.app/pyq/jee_main/61ab6514-4877-450e-9a19-78a412642c14-image.png" style="width: 300px; height: 189px;" /><br />Fsin 30 ° + N = mg
N=5×10–20×(12)N = 5 \times 10 – 20 \times \left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)
=40N= 40N
fr=0.2×40=8N{f}_{r} = 0.2 \times 40 = 8N
Fcos30 ° – {f}_{r} = ma<br/><br />20\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) - 8 = 5 \times a<br/><br />⇒ {a}_{B} = \dfrac{10\sqrt{3} - 8}{5}<br/><br />{a}_{B} - {a}_{A} = \dfrac{4}{5} = 0.8m / {s}^{2}
