11. An inextensible string AB is tied to a block B of negligible dimensions and passes
over a small pulley C so that the free end A hangsh1 unit above the ground on
which the block B rests. In this initial position shown in figure, the free end A is h
unit below C. If now the end A moves horizontally with a velocity u, obtain an
expression for the velocity of the block at any time t.

17. The pulley arrangements of Figure (a) and (b) are identical. The mass of the
rope is negligible. In figure (a), the mass m is lifted by attaching a mass 2m to the
other end of the rope. In Figure (b), m is lifted up by pulling the other end of the
rope with a constant downward force F = 2mg. The acceleration of m is the same in
both cases. Is it correct?
Solution
Let a be the acceleration in the case in Figure (a).
T mg=ma
.(1)
2mgT=2ma (2)
Adding Esq. (1) and (2),
Mg= 3ma or
a=g/3
Let a' be the acceleration in the case in Figure (b).
T - 2 mg = 0 or
T = 2mg
and T - mg = ma'
or 2mg - mg = ma'
or mg = ma' i.e., a' = g
Acceleration in case (b) is greater than that
in Case (a). So, the statement is incorrect.
18. Two masses m and 2m are connected by a mass less string which passes over a
pulley as shown in the figure. The masses are initially held with equal lengths on
either side of the pulley. Find the velocities of the masses at the instant the lighter
mass moves up a distance of 6.54 m. The string is suddenly cut at that instant.
Calculate the time taken by each mass to reach the ground. (g = 9.81 m/s 2)
Solution
Acceleration of the system

2m moves down and m moves up with acceleration 3.27 m/s 2 from rest.
If v is velocity after moving 6.54 m,
v2=2aS=2X3.27X6.54
..V=6.54m/s
Initially, both are at height of 13.08 m from the ground. When they moved 6.54 m,
height of m from ground = 13.08 + 6.54 = 19.62 m and height of 2 m from ground
= 13.08 - 6.54 = 6.54 m. When the string is cut, m has upward velocity 6.54 m/s
and 2 m, the same downward velocity.

19. Find the tension of strings connecting the masses shown in the figure. The
pulleys are mass less and the surface friction is zero. Find the relation between the

If m moves to the right by x, m' moves up by y,

25. Both the blocks are resting on a horizontal floor and the pulley is held such that
string remains just taut. At moment t = 0, a force F = 20t N starts acting on the
pulley along vertically upward direction as shown in figure. Calculate:
(a) velocity of A when B loses contact with the floor.
(b) height raised by the pulley up to that instant. (g = 10 m/s 2)
Solution
(a) Let T be the tension in the string. Then, 2T = 20 t or T = 10t N
Let the block A loses its contact with the floor at time t = t 1 This happens when the
tension in string becomes equal to the weight of A. Thus,
T= mg
or
10t1 = 1 X 10
or
t, = 1s . . .(i)
Similarly, for block B, we have

i.e., the block B loses contact after 2s. For block A, at time t such that t

opposite end of the rope is tied to a weight of mass M = 2 m lying on a smooth
horizontal plane. What is the tension of the rope when the cat moves upwards with
an acceleration a = 2 m/s2 relative to the rope?
Solution
Let a be the absolute upward acceleration of the monkey and a' be the absolute
downward acceleration of the rope. a' is also the rightward acceleration of M. Then,
b = a - (a') (since relative acceleration is the vector difference between the
absolute accelerations) or b - a = a' Considering upward motion of the cat

(a) the time elapsed before the block separates from the plank.

100 kg, mB = 200 kg, Pulley and strings are mass less. Coefficient between A and B
and between B and horizontal surface is

Solution
Maximum friction that can be obtained between A and B is
f1 mA g

and maximum friction between B and ground is
f2 = (m A + m B)g (0.4) (100 + 200) (10) = 1200 N

1. (a): For forming an action reaction pair, cause and nature of force should be
same. both statements are correct and also statement (II) correct explanation for
statement (I).
6. (C): statement (II)

false
kinetic friction opposes relative motion of th body.

Laws of Motion and Friction

Solution:x1 +c+x2 = constant

The length of the string is constant,

For string 1: X1 + C+ XB = constant

For string2: X2 - XB + C1 + X3 - X = constant

From Eqs. (1) and (2), we get:

=> 2xA - x2 = constant

14. A racing car travelling along a track at a constant speed of 40 m/sec. A

At t= 1 sec, x=40m and d=40m

Acceleration of the system

T1=30X2=60 N; T2=15X2=30 N; T3=5X2=1O N.

Acceleration of the system

to go to the highest point. In this time it goes up

total distance it falls 2.18 + 19.62 = 21.8 m.

Total time to reach ground = 2.1 +

.So, the acceleration of M, m, and m' are, respectively,

,T-m' g=m 'a'

Thus, M is the harmonic mean of m and m'.

also, T=2T1 +2(ga)=2X4.8(ga)+2(ga)= 11.6(ga)

On reaching this height, it rises again until its velocity is zero.

The further height reached h '

Total height reached 2h

The velocity at the end of 10 seconds = v = u + at = 0 + 2 X 10 = 20 m/s

During the next 10 seconds, acceleration =

The distance travelled in the next 10 seconds

23. Two blocks of mass m = 5 kg and M = 10 kg are connected by a light string

Let T0= tension in the string passing over A

Considering the equilibrium of blocks

(b) From Eq. (iv), dy = (5t2 - 10t + 5) dt

Where is the vertical displacement of block A at time t ( t 1).

Height raised by pulley up to that instant

From (i) and (ii), we get

and the horizontal surface over which B is placed is

Relative acceleration of A with respect to B is a r = a2 - a1 = g

.The inclined plane is smooth. If the system of blocks A and B is

released from rest and there is no slipping between A and B, then

down the plane. Horizontal component of this acceleration is a H = a cos

and vertical component is av = a sin

N = normal reaction between A and B.
