MCQ
A metre scale is moving with uniform velocity. This implies:
  • A
    The force acting on the scale is zero, but a torque about the centre of mass can act on the scale.
  • B
    The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.
  • C
    The total force acting on it need not be zero but the torque on it is zero.
  • D
    Neither the force nor the torque need to be zero.
✓

Answer

  1. The force acting on the scale is zero and the torque acting about centre of mass of the scale is also zero.

Explanation:

Key concept: To solve these types of problem we have to apply Newton’s second law of motion! Newton’s Second Law of Motion

According to this law: The rate of change of linear momentum of a body is directly proportional to the external force applied on the body and this change takes place always in the direction of the force applied.
