Question

A bar of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving due to the force F=mg3 of constant magnitude. In the process of its rectilinear motion, the angle α between the direction of this force and the horizontal varies as α=as, where a is a constant and s is the distance traversed by the bar from its initial position. Find the velocity of the bar as a function of the angle α

Solution

The correct option is B v=(2g3a)sinα
Newton's second law of motion in projection form, along horizontal or x-axis i.e. Fx=mwx gives,
Fcos(as)=mvdvds (as α=as)
or, Fcos(as)ds=mvdv
Integrating over the limits for v(s)
Fm0cos(as)ds=v22
or v=2Fsinαma
=2gsinα3a (using F=mg3)
which is the sought relationship.
