JEE Main 2018Laws Of Motion Question with Solution

From: JEE Main 2018 (Online) 15th April Evening Slot

Question

A body of mass 2 kg slides down with an acceleration of 3 m/s2 on a rough inclined plane having a slope of . The external force required to take the same body up the plane with the same acceleration will be : (g = 10 m/s2)

Correct answer
B20 N

Step-by-step explanation

When mass slide down then,

Mgsin Mg cos = Ma

a = g(sin30o cos30o)

When mass pushed upward with force F,

F Mgsin Mgcos = Ma

F = Mg(sin30o + cos 30o) + Mg(sin30o cos30o)

F = 2Mg sin30o

= 2 2 10

= 20 N
