4. In the figure shown, two blocks of masses 2 kg and 4 kg are connected by a massless string which is just
taut (i.e., tension is zero at this moment). Now two forces 4 N and 15 N are applied on blocks. The tension
in the string is (coefficient of static and kinetic friction are same). [g = 10 m/s2]

Sol. Answer (2)
Maximum frictional force
on 4 kg = 4 × 0.1 × 10 = 16 N
on 2 kg = 2 × 0.3 × 10 = 6 N
∵ Applied forces are less than max frictional force, therefore acceleration of blocks will be zero and
therefore tension also will be zero.

Bodies will not fly up due to inertia.
4. STATEMENT-1 : A monkey climbing down a massless rope with magnitude of acceleration lesser than his
weight is applying force on rope lesser than his weight.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Force applied on a body equals product of its mass and its acceleration.
Sol. Answer (4)
The direction of acceleration will determine the force by the monkey on string.
5. STATEMENT-1 : A cyclist has to bend while traversing a turn on a horizontal road.

and
STATEMENT-2 : Normal force acting on the tyres of bicycle has horizontal component (which provides the
necessary centripetal force) only when cycle is bent.
Sol. Answer (3)
The contact force has two components, one along normal and other along surface.
6. STATEMENT-1 : For a particle (tied to a string) moving in a vertical circle with constant speed, net force acting
on the particle is maximum at the bottom and minimum at the highest point.
and
STATEMENT-2 : Force applied by earth on the particle is constant. Tension in the string is maximum when
the particle is at bottom and minimum when the particle is at highest point.
Sol. Answer (4)

v is constant, therefore F is constant.
7. STATEMENT-1 : Acceleration of a particle in a reference frame may be non-zero, even if net external force
acting on the particle is zero.
and
STATEMENT-2 : In a non-inertial reference frame, Newton’s second law is not valid.
Sol. Answer (1)
Newton’s laws are applicable only in inertial frames.
8. STATEMENT-1 : A body has no inertia, when it is at the centre of the earth.

and
STATEMENT-2 : At centre of the earth, the mass of a body is non-zero.
Sol. Answer (4)
Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true
Mass is measurement for inertia
At the centre mass of body is non-zero.
9. STATEMENT-1 : A block of mass m starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity v. It stops due
to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted
to an angle of 30°, with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same
initial velocity v. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the
first situation.
and
STATEMENT-2 : The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in
the angle of inclination. [IIT-JEE 2007]
Sol. Answer (3)
Coefficient of friction does not change by changing inclination.
The correct explanation for the statement is that, as the block rises on the incline plane, potential energy
increases. So, loss in mechanical energy against friction becomes lesser.
10. STATEMENT-1 : A cloth covers a table. Some dishes are kept on it. The cloth can be pulled out without
dislodging the dishes from the table.
and
STATEMENT-2 : For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. [IIT-JEE 2007]
Sol. Answer (2)
11. STATEMENT-1 : It is easier to pull a heavy object than to push it on a level ground.
and
STATEMENT-2 : The magnitude of frictional force depends on the nature of the two surfaces in contact.
[IIT-JEE 2008]
Sol. Answer (2)
During pull, normal reaction decreases so friction decreases.

Matrix-Match Type Questions
1. Column (I) contains some forces, laws or statement and column (II) contains its definition/explanation. Find
best match
Column I Column II
(A) Inertia of a body (p) It cannot form an action reaction pair
(B) Friction force (q) Always opposes relative motion or its tendency
(C) Free body diagram (r) Determined by the matter content of the body
(D) Centrifugal force (s) Shows various forces acting on a body
Sol. Answer A(r), B(q), C(s), D(p)
Inertia of a body depends on its mass. Force of friction tries to oppose the relative motion of surfaces in
contact. Centrifugal force is pseudo force and does not obey Newton’s third law.
2. Match the entries in column II with the statements given in column I.

Column I Column II
(A) We cannot have an isolated force (p) Frictional force
(B) Magnitude of this frictional force is (q) Pseudo-force
constant
(C) The force can accelerate a body but (r) Kinetic friction
does not follow Newton’s third law
(D) A force which is electromagnetic in nature (s) Newton’s third law
Sol. Answer A(s), B(r), C(q), D(p, r)
Newton’s third law states that forces always exist in pairs and all real forces obey this law. Kinetic friction
remains constant as long as normal reaction remains constant. Pseudo force does not obey IIIrd law. Frictional
force is dissipative.
3. The laws/forces of column I are only valid in some standard frame of reference of column II. Find best match
Column I Column II
(A) Newton’s Law (p) Non-inertial frame
(B) Centrifugal force (q) Ground’s frame
(C) Pseudo force (r) Centre of earth frame
(D) Kinematics equation motion (s) Inertial frame
Sol. Answer A(q, r, s); B(p); C(p); D(p, q, r, s)
Newton’s laws are defined and applicable in inertial frame. A ground frame is not inertial.
Centrifugal force is a pseudo force, so it is observed in non-inertial frame.

(p) Force of friction is kinetic
(q) As 5 < limiting friction (in N)
So a = 0 and friction = 5N

(s) a = 0, v = constant, friction is kinetic in nature

So block m2 starts sliding at  > 11.5°. m2
When  = 5° and  = 10°, then block will be rest, so friction will be (m1  m2 )g sin 
For  = 15° and  = 20°, block starts sliding.

So friction will be m2 g cos  .

(a) Draw the free body diagram for each block w.r.t. ground and identify the action reaction forces between
two blocks.
(b) Determine the tension in the string and magnitude of the acceleration of the 15 kg block.
Sol. (a) F.B.D. is shown in fig.
(i) f = frictional force
(ii) 5 g = force of gravity on 5 kg block.
(iii) T is tension in the string.
(iv) N1 on 5 kg is reaction force applied by 15 kg on 5 kg.
(v) N1 downward is action force applied by 5 kg on 15 kg.
(vi) N2 is reaction applied by the ground to the block 15 kg.
(b) From the F.B.D.
T=f
Also f’max = 0.2 × 20 × 10 = 40 N
fmax = N1 = 0.2 × 5 × 10 = 10 N
∵ Applied force on 15 kg is more than maximum frictional force.
Therefore it can move and its acceleration is given as
F – f – f’ = Ma

Also a1 = a2 = a
