There is a block of mass resting on a floor and tied with a rope on it's top. The maximum tension, the rope can withstand without breaking is . Find the minimum time in which the given block can be lifted a vertical distance of with the help of the rope.

Important Questions on Laws of Motion




A maximum of force can be applied on a block, down the incline, that would still not move the block which is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is . The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is






Four identical beakers contain same amount of water as shown below.
Beaker contains only water. A lead ball is held submerged in the beaker by string from above. A same sized plastic ball, say a table tennis ball, is held submerged in beaker by a string attached to a stand from outside. Beaker contains same sized ball which is held submerged from a string attached to the bottom of the beaker. These beakers (without stand) are placed on weighing pans and register readings and for and respectively. Effects of the mass and volume of the stand and string are to be neglected.


A rectangular frame of some mass has to be suspended symmetrically by two mass-less strings of equal length on two supports. It can be done in one of the three following ways as shown in below figures. The tension in the strings will be



Two blocks and are placed one over the other on a smooth horizontal surface. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied on lower block , so that and move without separation is . The coefficient of friction between and is

(i) The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons in a nucleus.
(ii) The strong nuclear force is about times the electromagnetic force in strength.
(iii) The weak nuclear force is the weakest of all the four fundamental forces.
(iv) The range of the weak nuclear is about
The correct statement(s) is (are)


The length of a metal wire is when the tension in it is and is when the tension is The natural length of the wire is:



A block of mass rests on another block of mass and is tied to a wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between and is and that between and ground is . The minimum force required to move the block is
