 More than One Option:

1. A horizontal plane supports a plank with a block placed on

it. A light elastic string is attached to the block which is attached to a fixed point O. Initially the cord is
unstretched and vertical. The plank is slowly moved towards right with the force F until the block starts
sliding over it. It occurs at the moment when the cord deviates from the vertical by θ. Work done by the
force F is
a) Energy lost against friction F1 plus strain energy stored in the cord.
b) Work done against total friction acting on the plank alone.
c) Work done against total friction acting on the plank plus strain energy stored in the cord.
d) Work done against total friction acting on the plank plus strain energy stored in the cord minus work
done by friction acting on the block.
Solution: If you look at the f.b.d of the plank, you will realize that you have worked against F1 and F2
acting on the plank leaving mg and normal reaction acting on the plank as they are at right angles to the
motion of the plank. So, (b) is correct.
Now if you look at the block, it has moved with the plank and the friction F2 which is static has acted on
the block in the direction of motion of the plank and has worked equally against the elastic force
exerted by the string in the backward direction on getting stretched. Hence work done by F2 is stored in
the string in the form of strain energy. So, (a) is also correct.
Why is (d) correct is now obvious.

In the figure there is a trolley moving uniformly on horizontal

surface. There is an ideal spring of spring constant K and there
is a man in the trolley to perform some experiment with the
spring. Trolley is moving with velocity v. Body posture of man
while performing experiment is not clearly depicted in the
figure.
Answer the following questions.

Two smooth blocks are placed at a smooth corner as shown. Both the blocks
are having mass m. We apply a force F on the small block m. Block A presses
the block B in the normal direction, due to which pressing force on vertical wall
will increase, and pressing force on the horizontal wall decrease, as we
increase F. (  37o with horizontal). As soon as the pressing force on the
horizontal wall by block B becomes zero, it will loose the contact with the ground. If the value of F
is further increased, the block B will accelerate in upward direction and simultaneously the block A
will move toward right.
