JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 20th July Morning Shift - No. 11)

A steel block of 10 kg rests on a horizontal floor as shown. When three iron cylinders are placed on it as shown, the block and cylinders go down with an acceleration 0.2 m/s2. The normal reaction R' by the floor if mass of the iron cylinders are equal and of 20 kg each, is ____________ N. [Take g = 10 m/s2 and $$\mu$$s = 0.2]

Explanation

The force equation in vertical direction is

Mg $$-$$ R = Ma

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 20th July Morning Shift Physics - Laws of Motion Question 78 English Explanation
where,

M = collective mass of block and all three iron cylinders = 10 + 3 $$\times$$ 20 = 70 kg

a = acceleration of block = 0.2 ms$$-$$2

g = 10 ms$$-$$2 and $$\mu$$s = 0.2

and R = normal reaction

Force along vertical axis Mg $$-$$ R = Ma

$$\therefore$$ 70g $$-$$ R = 70 $$\times$$ 0.2

$$\Rightarrow$$ R = 70 $$\times$$ 10 $$-$$ 14

= 700 $$-$$ 14 = 686 N
