Work Power and Energy 1 Question 1

1. A uniform cable of mass M and length L is placed on a horizontal surface such that its 1n th part is hanging below the edge of the surface. To lift the hanging part of the cable upto the surface, the work done should be

(a) 2MgLn2

(b) nMgL

(c) MgLn2

(d) MgL2n2

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (d)

Solution:

Given, mass of the cable is M.

So, mass of 1n th part of the cable, i.e. hanged part of the cable is

=M/n

Now, centre of mass of the hanged part will be its middle point. So, its distance from the top of the table will be L/2n.

Initial potential energy of the hanged part of cable,

Ui=Mn(g)L2nUi=MgL2n2

When whole cable is on the table,

its potential energy will be zero.

Uf=0

Now, using work-energy theorem,

Wnet =ΔU=UfUiWnet =0MgL2n2Wnet =MgL2n2

[using Eqs. (ii) and (iii)]

2 Normal reaction force on the block is

N=manet 

where, anet = net acceleration of block.

=g+a=g+g2=3g2N=mg+g2=3mg2

Now, in time ’ t ’ block moves by a displacement s given by

s=0+12at2=12g2t2(u=0)

Here, a=g2 (given)

Work done = Force × Displacement

W=3mg2×gt24=3mg2t28.
