(a) F=(Gm_1 m_2)/d^2
(b) F=(m_1 m_2)/(Gd^2 )
(c) F=(Gm_1 m_2)/d
(d) F=(m_1 m_2)/Gd

(b) couple
(c) torque
(d) parallel forces

Q4. A body of weight 100 N is resting on a rough horizontal plane which has coefficient of friction μ, and can be just moved by a force of 40 N which is applied in horizontal direction. What will be the value of the coefficient of friction between horizontal plane and the body?
(a) 0.5
(b) 0.4
(c) 0.3
(d) none of the above

(a) 200
(b) 1
(c) 400
(d) 2

Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. The parameters upon which the effect of a force on a body depends on
Direction,
Magnitude,
Position
Line of action.

S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. F=(Gm_1 m_2)/d^2

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. Opening a Limca bottle is due to Moment applied on the bottle.

S4. Ans. (b) N
Sol.

μ F

F=μN
N=mg=W=100 N
μ=F/N=40/100=0.4
S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. We know that, linear velocity, V = ω.r
V=20×10=200 m/sec

S6. Ans. (a)
Let, the height of the building is x meter
So,
x/2=ut+1/2 gt^2
u=0 and t=2 sec
x/2=2g
x=4g
Also, we know that
v^2=u^2+2gx
v^2=0+2g×4g=8g^2
v=g√8
And,
v=u+gt
g√8=0+gt
t=(g√8)/g=2.83 sec
