JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th January Morning Slot - No. 24)

A block of mass m is kept on a platform which starts from rest with constant acceleration g/2 upward, as shown in figure. Work done by normal reaction on block in time is -

$${{m{g^2}{t^2}} \over 8}$$
$${{3m{g^2}{t^2}} \over 8}$$
$$-$$ $${{m{g^2}{t^2}} \over 8}$$
0

Explanation

N $$-$$ mg = $${{mg} \over 2}$$ $$ \Rightarrow $$ N = $${{3mg} \over 2}$$

The distance travelled by the system in time t is

S = ut + $${1 \over 2}a{t^2} = 0 + {1 \over 2}\left( {{g \over 2}} \right){t^2} = {1 \over 2}{g \over 2}{t^2}$$

Now, work done

W = N.S = $$\left( {{3 \over 2}mg} \right)\left( {{1 \over 2}{g \over 2}{t^2}} \right)$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$  W = $${{3m{g^2}{t^2}} \over 8}$$
