Ncert Exercises & Solutions

A body of mass 2kg travels according to the law $x (t) = pt + {qt}^{2} + {rt}^{3}$ where, $q = 4 {ms}^{- 2}, p = 3 {ms}^{- 1} and r = 5 {ms}^{- 3}$ . The force acting on the body at t=2s is

1. 136 N
2. 134 N
3. 158 N
4. 68 N

(a) Hint: Using the equation of motion of the particle, we can find the acceleration of the particle.

Step 1: Find the acceleration and force acting on the particle.

Given, mass = 2 kg

\begin{array}{l} x (t) = pt + {qt}^{2} + {rt}^{3} \\ v = \frac{dx}{dt} = p + 2 qt + 3 {rt}^{2} \\ a = \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 + 2 q + 6 rt \\ at t = 2 s; a = 2 q + 6 \times 2 \times r \\ = 2 q + 12 r \\ = 2 \times 4 + 12 \times 5 \\ = 8 + 60 = 68 m / s \\ Force = F = ma \\ = 2 \times 68 = 136 N \end{array}
