MCQ
A block of mass $M$ placed inside a box descends vertically with acceleration $'a'$. The block exerts a force equal to one-fourth of its weight on the floor of the box. The value of $'a'$ will be .............
  • A
    $\frac{g}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{2}$
  • $\frac{3 g }{4}$
  • D
    $g$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{3 g }{4}$
c
$m g-N=m a$

$a=g-\frac{g}{4}$

$a=\frac{3 g}{4}$

A bar of mas $M=1.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ and length $L=0.20 \mathrm{~m}$ is lying on a horizontal frictionless surface. One end of the bar is pivoted at a point about which it is free to rotate. A small mass $m=0.10 \mathrm{~kg}$ is moving on the same horizontal surface with $5.00 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ speed on a path perpendicular to the bar. It hits the bar at a distance $L / 2$ from the pivoted end and returns back on the same path with speed $v$. After this elastic collision, the bar rotates with an angular velocity $\omega$.

Two springs with negligible masses and force constant of $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to the block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially the block is at rest, at the equilibrium position in which both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0,$ a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.
