Question

A force of 5 kgwt is acting on a body of mass 5 kg kept on a smooth horizontal surface at rest. If it acts for 10 seconds at an angle of 60 with the horizontal, find the distance travelled by the body. (Take g=10 m/s2)

Solution

The correct option is D 250 m
1 kgwt=g N
Hence, force acting on body F=5×10=50 N.
The component of the force along the surface =50cos60=25 N

Hence acceleration a=255=5 m/s2
Using second equation of motion, s=ut+12at2=0+12×5×102=250 m
