  • question_answer
    A body of mass 4 kg is accelerated upon by a constant force, travels a distance of 5 m in the first second and a distance of 2 m in the third second. The force acting on the body is

    A)  2 N            

    B)  4 N

    C)  6 N             

    D)  8 N

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Distance travelled by the body in \[{{n}^{th}}\] second is given by \[{{S}_{n}}=u+\frac{a}{2}(2n-1)\] \[5=u+\frac{a}{2}(2\times 1-)\] \[5=u+\frac{a}{2}\] ?(i) \[2=u+\frac{a}{2}(2\times 3-1)\] \[2=u+\frac{5}{2}a\] ?.(ii) Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get\[a=-\frac{6}{4}m/{{s}^{2}}\] ie, body is decelerating mass = 4 kg and   \[F=m\times a=4\times \frac{6}{4}=6N\]
