Question
Explain the difference between weight and mass.
✓

Answer

The weight of an object is the gravitational force acting on it and it varies at different places due to the change in gravitational acceleration $g . W = mg$. Mass of the object (m) tells the amount of substance in it which remains constant.

A block of mass $m=1 kg$, moving on a horizontal surface with speed $V_l=2 m s ^{-1}$ enters a rough patch ranging from $x=0.10 m$ to $x=2.01 m$. The retarding force $F_r$ on the block in this range is inversely proportional to $x$ over this range,
$ F_r=\frac{-k}{x} \text { for } 0.12.01 m$
where $k=0.5 J$. What is the final kinetic energy and speed $v_f$ of the block as it crosses this patch?

A barometer correctly reads the atmospheric pressure as 76cm of mercury. Water droplets are slowly introduced into the barometer tube by a dropper. The height of the mercury column first decreases and then becomes constant. lf the saturation vapour pressure at the atmospheric temperature is 0.80cm of mercury, find the height of the mercury column when it reaches its minimum value.
