JEE MAIN - Physics (2022 - 26th July Morning Shift - No. 1)
Three masses $$M=100 \mathrm{~kg}, \mathrm{~m}_{1}=10 \mathrm{~kg}$$ and $$\mathrm{m}_{2}=20 \mathrm{~kg}$$ are arranged in a system as shown in figure. All the surfaces are frictionless and strings are inextensible and weightless. The pulleys are also weightless and frictionless. A force $$\mathrm{F}$$ is applied on the system so that the mass $$\mathrm{m}_{2}$$ moves upward with an acceleration of $$2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$$. The value of $$\mathrm{F}$$ is :
( Take $$\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$$ )
Explanation
Here we will use the Newton's laws of motion.
Let acceleration of 100 kg block w.r.t. ground is a.
Now, Let's draw FBD of 100 kg block w.r.t. ground,
By NLM,
$F-T-N_1=100a\quad \text{... (1)}$
FBD of 20 kg block w.r.t. 100 kg block,
By NLM,
$${N_1} = {m_2}a = 20a \Rightarrow {N_1} = 20a\quad$$ ... (2)
$$T - {m_2}g = {m_2}(2)$$
$$ \Rightarrow T - 20g = 20(2)$$
$$ \Rightarrow T = 40 + 200 = 240$$
$$ \Rightarrow T = 240N\quad$$ .... (3)
Now, FBD of 10 kg block w.r.t. 100 kg block,
By NLM,
$${m_1}a - T = {m_1}(2)$$
$$ \Rightarrow 10a - T = 20$$
$$ \Rightarrow 10a - 240 = 20\quad$$ [from (3)]
$$ \Rightarrow 10a = 260$$
$$ \Rightarrow a = 26\,m{s^{ - 2}}$$
So, from (2), $${N_1} = 20(26) = 520N$$
Now, from (1), $$F - 240 - 520 = 100(26)$$
$$ \Rightarrow F = 2600 + 240 + 520$$
$$ \Rightarrow F = 3360\,N$$
