Block P of mass 2 kg slides down the surface and has a speed 20 m/s at the lowest point, Q where the local radius of curvature is 2 m as shown in the figure. Assuming g = 10 m/s², the normal force (in N) at Q is _______ (correct to two decimal places).
-
- 420 N
- 421 N
- 422 N
- 419 N
Correct Option: A
m = 2 kg, g = 10 m/s²
FBD of mass P at point Q
N = mg + | = 2 × 10 + | = 420 N | R | 2 |
