When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

Explanation:

Referring to FBD of given system below

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

Normal Reaction force on block A

= N1 = mAg     ---- (1)

Normal Reaction force on block B 

= N2 = mBg + N1 = ( mAg + mBg )      ----(2)

Friction force between A and B

= f1 = μ1N1 = μ1mAg        ---- (3)

Friction force between B and horizontal surface

= f2 = μ2N2 μ2( mAg + mBg )        ---- (4)

Also from FBD of block B,

P = f1 + f2 = μ1mAg + μ2( mAg + mBg )       ---- (5)

Given,

mA = 100 kg, mB = 300 kg, μ1 = 0.35, μ2, 0.50

Putting above values in equation (5) then we get,

P = 2350 N.

Hence Option 3) is correct choice.

A mass M is dragged by a pulley on a horizontal plane by a force anti-parallel to its displacement. The work done in pulling the mass M is

  1. zero
  2. positive
  3. infinite
  4. negative

CONCEPT:

  • Work (W) is said to be done by a force when the force acting on it causes the object to displace.
  • Mathematically it is given by:

 \(⇒ W = \vec F .\vec d = Fd\ cos θ \;\;\;\;\; \ldots \left( 1 \right)\) 

Where F = The magnitude of the force vector, d = The magnitude of the displacement vector

EXPLANATION:

Given: The pull force F is applied in the antiparallel direction to the displacement of the mass on the plane.

  • Referring to the diagram,

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So, the displacement and pulling force vectors will be in the antiparallel direction to each other as the angle between them will be 180°.

∵ θ  = 180°.⇒ cos180° = -1 

  • So, using equation 1,
  • The work done in pulling the mass M  will be negative as the magnitude of the force and displacement vector can not be negative.

So, the correct answer will be option 4.

Concept: 

  • Hooke's law: When we apply some force to spring it will oscillate about its mean position.
  • Restoring force acts on spring is directed opposite to the displacement.

\(F= -k\times x\)  Where k - spring constant

  • The elastic potential energy i.e energy stored in spring is directly proportional to the square of displacement of spring

\(E = \frac{1}{2}k\times x^2 \)

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

Explanation: 

  • in the given question the same amount of force is applied on both springs.

FA= FB​ 

kAXA=kBXB
  • The relationship between spring constant is given as kA = 2kB 

2kBXA=kBXB

  • Therefore displacement is XA=XB/2 
  • Energy stored in spring A is \(E_A = \frac{1}{2}k_AX_A^2=E\) 

Calculation:

  • Energy stored in spring B is given by 

\(E_B = \frac{1}{2}k_BX_B^2\)

\(E_B=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac {k_A}{2}\times(2X_A)^2=2(\frac{1}{2}k_AX_A^2)\)

\(E_B=2E\)

  • Therefore option 2 is correct.

When force 10N is applied on a body, it is displaced by 10 cm. What should be angle between force and displacement if work done in this process is 1J?

CONCEPT:

  • Work done: It is the dot product of Force and Displacement.

\(W = \overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{d}=Fd~cosθ\)

where W is the work done, F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle between F and d.

CALCULATION:

Given that W = 1J; F = 10N; d = 10cm = 0.1m; 

Work done is given by 

\(W = Fd~cosθ\)

\(1 = 10\times 0.1~cosθ\)

1 = cosθ 

cos 0° = cosθ

θ = 0° 

  • So the angle between force and displacement is 0°
  • Hence the correct answer is option 4.

A body of mass 100 gm is rotating on a circular path of radius r with constant velocity. The work done in one complete revolution will be:

  1. zero
  2. (100/r) J
  3. 100 r J
  4. (r/100) J

​CONCEPT:

  • Circular Motion: The movement of an object along a circumference of a circle or rotation along a circular path is called circular motion.
  • Uniform circular motion: The circular motion in which the speed of the particle remains constant is called uniform circular motion. In a uniform circular motionforce supplies the centripetal acceleration.
    • The kinetic energy and the speed of the body remain constant.

If the Force F acts on a body and it gets displaced by a displacement of Sthe work done in that case is given by:

Work done (W) = FS Cos θ

  • Centripetal Force: It is a force required to move a body uniformly in a circle. This force acts along the radius and towards the center of the circle.

\({\bf{Centripetal}}\;{\bf{Force}}\;\left( {\bf{F}} \right) = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r}\)

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • The centripetal force required for circular motion along the surface of the road, towards the center of the turn. The Static friction between tire and road provides the necessary centripetal force.

CALCULATION:

It is given that,

Mass = 100 gm, radius = r

  • Now, here, please note that the movement is uniform circular in motion. The angle between centripetal force and displacement is 90°. The force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

⇒ cos 90° = 0

Work done (W) = FS Cos 90° = 0 J

  • So, no matter what is the mass, radius, or velocity, the work done would be zero. 
  • Hence, the work done in one complete revolution is​ Zero JouleSo option 1 is correct.

Which of the following formulae is correct for work?

  1. W = F.s sinθ
  2. W = F.s cosθ
  3. W = F.s tanθ
  4. W = F.s cotθ

Option 2 is correct, i.e. W = F.S cosθ.

CONCEPT:

  • Work: Work is said to be done by a force when the body is displaced actually through some distance in the direction of the applied force.
  • Since the body is being displaced in the direction of F, therefore work done by the force in displacing the body through a distance s is given by:

\(W = \vec F \cdot \vec s\)

Or, W = Fs cos θ

  • Thus work done by a force is equal to the scalar or dot product of the force and the displacement of the body.

EXPLANATION:

Work done (W) = F.s cosθ 

So option 2 is correct.

  1. Zero
  2. 12 Joules
  3. 7 Joules
  4. 13 Joules

CONCEPT:

  • Work: Work is said to be done by a force on an object if the force applied causes a displacement in the object.
  • The work done by the force is equal to the product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force.
  • Work is a scalar quantity.
  • Its SI unit is Joule(J).

\(\Rightarrow W=Fx\times cosθ\)    

In vector form,

\(\Rightarrow W=\overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{x}\)

When a body is moving in a circular motion, the work done by centripetal force will be:

  1. positive
  2. negative
  3. zero
  4. depends on the direction of force

CONCEPT:

  • Centripetal Force: The force that makes a body to move in a circular motion is known as centripetal force.
    • The direction of this force is always towards the center.

The centripetal force acting on a body of mass 'm' revolving with radius 'r' is:

\(F = {mv^2\over r}\)

  • Work done: It is the dot product of Force and Displacement.

Work Done (W) = Force (F) × Displacement (S) × cosθ 

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

EXPLANATION:

  • When a body is moving in a circular path, at any particular time,
    • The direction centripetal force is towards centre and
    • The direction displacement will be in the direction of motion that is perpendicular to the centripetal direction.

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So the angle between centripetal force and displacement will be θ = 90.

Work Done (W) = Centripetal Force (F) × Displacement (S) × cosθ 

W = F × S × cos90°

W = 0

  • So the correct answer is option 3.

The value of spring constant k depends on ________.

  1. elastic properties of the material.
  2. force acting
  3. spring length
  4. spring stretched or compressed

Option 1 : elastic properties of the material.

CONCEPT:

Spring force: In an ideal spring, the force required to stretch a string from its equilibrium position is directly proportional to the extension of the spring.

This is known as Hooke's law for springs:

Fs = -kx

Where Fs is the spring force, x is the displacement from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant.

The spring constant is the property of the spring.

EXPLANATION:

Option 1: The spring constant is the characteristic property of the spring.

The value of the spring constant depends on the elastic properties of the spring how the spring applies force when it is stretched.

Option 2: it does not depend on the force applied. Force applied can change the extension of the spring.

Option 3: Spring constant solely does not depend on the spring length. 

Option 4: Spring constant does not depend on the extension or compression of the spring. Extension or compression of the spring depends on the force applied.

So the correct answer is option 1.

Here x2 = 2x ,x1 = x

  • The work done to stretch is given by

\(\Rightarrow W = \frac{K}{2} ((2x)^{2} - x^{2})\)

\(\Rightarrow W = \frac{K}{2} (4x^{2} - x^{2})\)

\(\Rightarrow W = \frac{3}{2}K x^{2}\)

A mass M is dragged by a pulley on a horizontal plane by a force anti-parallel to its displacement. The work done in pulling the mass M is

  1. zero
  2. positive
  3. infinite
  4. negative

CONCEPT:

  • Work (W) is said to be done by a force when the force acting on it causes the object to displace.
  • Mathematically it is given by:

 \(⇒ W = \vec F .\vec d = Fd\ cos θ \;\;\;\;\; \ldots \left( 1 \right)\) 

Where F = The magnitude of the force vector, d = The magnitude of the displacement vector

EXPLANATION:

Given: The pull force F is applied in the antiparallel direction to the displacement of the mass on the plane.

  • Referring to the diagram,

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So, the displacement and pulling force vectors will be in the antiparallel direction to each other as the angle between them will be 180°.

∵ θ  = 180°.⇒ cos180° = -1 

  • So, using equation 1,
  • The work done in pulling the mass M  will be negative as the magnitude of the force and displacement vector can not be negative.

So, the correct answer will be option 4.

When we stretch a spring the work done due to the spring force is:

  1. Positive
  2. Negative
  3. Zero
  4. Can't say

CONCEPT:

Work:

  • Work is said to be done by a force on an object if the force applied causes a displacement in the object.
  • The work done by the force is equal to the product of force and the displacement in the direction of the force.
  • Work is a scalar quantity.
  • Its SI unit is Joule(J).


\(⇒ W=Fx\times cosθ\)    

In vector form,

\(⇒ W=\overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{x}\)     

Where W = work done, F = force, x = displacement and θ = angle between F and x

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

EXPLANATION:

  • We know that when we stretch a spring, the spring tries to return back to its original position due to the elastic force.
  • The spring force always tries to return back the spring to its initial position.
  • So when we stretch a spring the spring force acts opposite to the displacement.
  • Therefore in this case the angle between the force and the displacement is 180°.


⇒ θ = 180°

So work done is given as,

⇒ W = Fx.cosθ

⇒ W = Fx.cos180

⇒ W = -Fx

  • So the work done by the spring force will be negative when we stretch a spring. Hence, option 2 is correct.

Choose the correct graph for total energy of the block of a spring-block system versus elongation?

  1. When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is
  2. When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is
  3. When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is
  4. None of the above

Option 2 :

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

CONCEPT:

  • Mechanical energy: An energy due to its position and motion i.e. Sum of Potential energy and kinetic energy.
  • The Kinetic Energy of an object due to its linear speed is given by:

​​E = (1/2)(m × v2

where m is the mass of a body and v is the speed.

  • The potential energy of a spring is given by:

\(PE = {1\over 2}kx^2\)

where k is the spring constant, x is the elongation or compression in the spring.

  • Conservation of mechanical energy: The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces, doing work on it, are conservative

Total initial mechanical energy = Total final mechanical energy

EXPLANATION:

  • Initially, let the spring is compressed and at rest, it will have only potential energy.

\(PE = {1\over 2}kx^2\)

  • Now as spring tries to move towards mean position. The value of x starts to decrease, hence potential energy starts to decrease.
  • This decrease in potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy and kinetic energy starts to increase slowly.
  • At the mean position when x = 0, the potential energy becomes zero.
    • The spring will have maximum speed when this whole potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

At mean position PE = 0 and KE = (1/2)(m × v2

  • Again when the spring starts to elongate Potential energy starts to increase and Kinetic energy starts to decrease.
  • At the other extreme, Potential energy becomes maximum and kinetic energy becomes zero.
  • But total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) remains constant because the spring force is a conservative force.
  • Graph of Potential energy, kinetic energy, and total energy (KE + PE) is given below i.e. how these are changing with elongation.

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So the graph of total energy with the elongation will be straight-line i.e. constant.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 2.

The energy possess by the spring will:

  1. Increase when it is stretched and decrease when it is compressed
  2. Increase when it is compressed and decrease when it is stretched
  3. Decrease whether it is stretched or compressed
  4. Increase whether it is stretched or compressed

Option 4 : Increase whether it is stretched or compressed

CONCEPT:

Elastic potential energy:

  • The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its deformed shape (i.e. either stretched or compressed) is known as elastic potential energy.
  • According to Hooke’s law, this restoring force is proportional to the displacement x and its direction is always opposite to the displacement.
  • Mathematically elastic potential energy can b written as,

\(\Rightarrow U = \frac{1}{2}k{x^2}\)

Where U = elastic potential energy, k = spring constant, and x = displacement

EXPLANATION:

  • The elastic potential energy of the material gets increases when it is deformed.
  • So whether the spring is stretched or compressed, its deformation will increase.
  • So the elastic potential energy of the spring will increase in both cases (stretched & compressed).
  • Hence, option 4 is correct.

A force of 10 N acts on an object and the displacement is 7.5 m, in the direction of force. What is the work done in this case?

CONCEPT:

  • Work is said to be done by a force when the body is displaced actually through some distance in the direction of the applied force.
  • Since the body is being displaced in the direction of F, therefore work done by the force in displacing the body through a distance s is given by

\(W = \vec F \cdot \vec s\)

W = Fs cos θ

Where θ = angle between force direction of motion

  • Thus work done by a force is equal to the scalar or dot product of the force and the displacement of the body.
  • SI unit of work is Joule (J).

CALCULATION:

Given - Force (F) = 10 N and displacement (s) = 7.5 m

  • Work done can be calculated as,

⇒ W = F × s 

⇒ W = 10 × 7.5 

⇒ W = 75 J

  1. Work
  2. Impulse
  3. Momentum
  4. Displacement

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. Work

CONCEPT:

  • Work is said to be done by an object when a force acting on it causes the object to displace.
    • Mathematically it is denoted by W = F.x

Where F is the force acting on the object and x is the displacement caused.

EXPLANATION:

  • The force acting on an object and displacement is represented graphically as shown below.
    • Consider a varying force acting on the object. If we divide the region under the curve into infinitesimally small regions, the force would appear constant for that region which has caused a displacement of Δx. 
    • In such a case, the area of that small region = Force × displacement (Δx) = work done.

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • Therefore, the area under the force-displacement graph gives work.

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is
Additional Information

  • Impulse (J): The change in momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for a certain amount of time is called impulse.
  • Impulse is expressed mathematically as : 

\(⇒ Δ p=FΔ t\)

Where Δp is the change in momentum, F is force, and Δt is the time taken.

  • Linear momentum: Momentum is defined as the impact due to a moving object.
  • It is expressed mathematically as: 

⇒ p = mv

Where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

A car of mass 100 kg is moving on the horizontal ground. Find work done by the gravity when the car has moved 10 m.

CONCEPT:

  • Work done: It is the dot product of Force and Displacement.

⇒ Work Done (W) = Force (F) × Displacement (S) × cos θ 

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

  • The gravitational force or weight of a body always acts in the downward direction.

EXPLANATION:

  • When a car is moving in a horizontal path, at any particular time,
    • The direction of gravity force is downwards and
    • The direction displacement will be in the direction of motion that is the horizontal direction (perpendicular to the downward direction).

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So the angle between gravity force and displacement will be θ = 90.

⇒ Work Done (W) = Gravity Force (F) × Displacement (S) × cosθ 

⇒ W = F × S × cos90°

⇒ W = F × S × 0 = 0

  • So the correct answer is option 1.

The potential energy of the spring versus elongation graph is a/an___________.

  1. straight line passing through centre
  2. ellipse
  3. straight line but not passing through centre
  4. parabola

CONCEPT:​​

  • The potential energy of a spring is given by:

\(PE = {1\over 2}kx^2\)

where k is the spring constant, x is the elongation or compression in the spring.

EXPLANATION:

  • The potential energy of a stretched or compressed spring is given by

\(PE = {1\over 2}kx^2\)

It is the same as the graph of y = 4ax2 (which is a parabola)

When a rotating body has a displacement of 10m due to a centripetal force of 10n the work done is

  • So the correct answer is option 4.

When a spring is suspended with 100 gm mass, it is stretched by 1 cm. Find the spring constant. (g = 10 m/s2)

  1. 50 N/m
  2. 25 N/m
  3. 200 N/m
  4. 100 N/m

CONCEPT:

  • Spring force: In an ideal spring, the force required to stretch a string from its equilibrium position is directly proportional to the extension of the spring.

This is known as Hooke's law for springs:

Fs = -kx

Where Fs is the spring force, x is the displacement from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant.

  • The spring constant is the property of the spring.

CALCULATION:

Given that spring is stretched due to 100 gm = 0.1 Kg mass. So here spring force will be weight of the mass.

W = Fs = 0.1 × 10 = 1 N

Spring is stretched by = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Fs = W = -kx

1 = k × 0.01

k = 100 N/m

So the correct answer is option 4.

One spring has force constant 200 Nm-1, another has force constant 500 Nm-1. If they are joined in series, the force constant will be nearest to

  1. 700 Nm-1
  2. 300 Nm-1
  3. 143 Nm-1
  4. 100 Nm-1

Concept:

In mechanics, two or more springs are said to be in series when they are connected end-to-end, and in parallel when they are connected side-by-side. 

Equivalent spring constant

In Series connection:

\(\frac{1}{{{k_{eq}}}} = \frac{1}{{{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}\)

In Parallel connection:

\({k_{eq}} = {k_1} + {k_2}\)

Calculation:

Given,

Force constant (k1) of one spring = 200 Nm-1

Force constant (k2) of another spring = 500 Nm-1

Since, they are connected in series

\( \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{k_{eq}}}} = \frac{1}{{{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}\)

\( \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{{k_{eq}}}} = \frac{1}{{200}} + \frac{1}{{500}} \Rightarrow {k_{eq}} = \frac{{1000}}{7} = 142.8\;N{m^{ - 1}}\)

⇒ Force constant is nearest to 143 Nm-1
