- 2 marksFoundationA body of mass 9 kg rests on a smooth horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 18 N is applied to the body. Find the acceleration of the body.
- 2 marksFoundationA force of 12 N acts on a body of mass 2 kg on a smooth horizontal surface. What is the acceleration of the body in m/s^2?
- 3 marksStandardA body of mass 6 kg is raised vertically by a string with an upward acceleration of 2 m/s^2. Find the tension in the string. (Take g = 10 m/s^2.)
- 3 marksStandardA block of mass 2 kg is pulled along a rough horizontal surface by a horizontal force of 30 N. The frictional force opposing the motion is 20 N.
- 3 marksStandardA body of mass 3 kg is raised vertically by a string. The upward acceleration of the body is 1 m/s². (Take g = 10 m/s^2.)
- 4 marksChallengeA body of mass 2 kg is pulled up a rough plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal by a force of 40 N acting parallel to the plane. The friction force acting on the body is 10 N. Find the acceleration of the body, in…
- 4 marksChallengeTwo particles of mass 3 kg and 2 kg are connected by a light inextensible string that passes over a smooth pulley. The system is released from rest with both particles hanging vertically. Find the magnitude of the…
