Sand is being dropped on a conveyer belt at the rate of 2 ~kg per second. The force necessary to keep the belt moving with a constant speed of 3 ~ms ⁻¹ will be
Options
- A12 ~N
- B6 ~N
- Czero
- D18 ~N
Correct answer
B. 6 ~N
Step-by-step solution
Here, rate of fall of sand on conveyer belt, d m d t =2 ~kg ~s ⁻¹ Conveyer belt speed v=3 ~ms ⁻¹ Force F= ? F=v d m d t =3 2=6 ~N
