➔ As the wedge is fixed on ground.
➔ The block is constrained to move only
along t h e wedge Or w e can say t h e

perpendicular To wedge is zero.
➔ Take along t h e i n c l i n e d & d o w n w a r d
direction as +ve and upward as –ve
➔ Take perpendicular to inclined & upward
direction as +ve and downward as –ve θ
➔ Now apply IInd law fixed

Concept : Once the motion of particle is clear always choose co–ordinate axis
parallel and perpendicular to that direction.
String based Ǫuestions
Block of mass M is attached with ideal string (negligible mass). Find tension at
(i) point A
(ii) point B (Point B is midpoint of string).
A. Mg, 0
B. 0, Mg
C. Mg, Mg
D. None of these B

Tension at point A :
Tension at point A :

Applying Newton’s 2 nd law
F = Ma
M B
⇒ TA – Mg = M(0) = 0

So, TA = Mg –
Tension at point B:
Let's consider block & string below point B as the body.

Tension TB on body will be along the string & away from body. M
F = Ma
⇒ TB – Mg = M(0) = 0
(acceleration of block = 0)
So, TB = Mg
Concept: To find tension at any point to break the system at that point
Two blocks of mass 4kg and 6kg are attached in a vertical plane
with the help of ideal strings. Find the tension at points

T1 – T2 – 40 = 0 ….(1) T2 – 60 = 0 ….(2)
Now as the string 1and 2 are ideal hence the
tension throughout the string will be constant
T1 – T2 – 40 = 0 ….(1)
T2 – 60 ….(2)
= 0
T2 = 60N

Putting this value of T2 in equation (1)
String 1
T1 – T2 – 40 = 0

Tensions at A = T1 = 100N String 2
Tension at B = T2 = 60N

Breaking Tension of string = 200N. Find the maximum acceleration of boy
without breaking the string. (mass of boy = 10 kg )
A. 10 m/s 2
B. 5 m/s 2
C. 2 m/s 2
D. None of these
Let acceleration of boy is a upward
mg
Applying Newton’s 2nd law on boy
T – mg = ma
T – mg
⇒ a= m T
⇒
a = 200 – 10(10) a
10
⇒ – 100 = 100
a = 200 10 10
a = 10m/s2 mg
\ Breaking tension of string is 90N. Find the maximum acceleration of
boy with which he can climb up without breaking the string.
(mass of boy = 10kg)
A. -1 m/s 2
B. -2 m/s 2
C. 1 m /s2
D. boy can't climb up
Applying Newton’s 2nd law on boy
T – mg = ma
T – mg
⇒ a= m T
⇒
a = 90 – 10(10) a
10 - 10
⇒
a = 90 –10100 = = –1
10
mg
As acceleration is –ve even at maximum
tension, boy cannot climb up.
