  1. A block weighing 200 N is in contact with a level plane whose coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. The block is acted upon by a horizontal force (in newton) P = 10t, where t denotes the time in seconds. The velocity (in m/s) of the block attained after 10 seconds is __________.
    1. 4.9
    2. 4.6
    3. 4.5
    4. 4.4
Correct Option: A

∑Fv = O
N = mg = 200 N
(fs )max = μs N = 0.4 × 200 = 8 0 N
As given in the question, upto 8 sec [P=10 t]→ no motion
⇒ From 8 sec to 10 sec
fK = μKN = 0.2×200 = 40 N
Average applied force is given by,

Pang =
Pmax + Pmin
=
100 + 80
= 90N
22

Average Resultant force = Avg. app. force – kinetic friction
= 90 – 40 = 50 N
Average acceleration
=
50 × 9.8
200

⇒ V = u + at [∴ u = O]
a =
50 × 9.8
200

t = 2 second
∴ V =
50 × 9.8
× 2 = 4.9 m/s
