LEARNING THE APPLICATION OF PSEUDO FORCE – level 2
1. Block A (of mass 10 kg) is released from rest from top of an inclined plane that is
fixed on a lift. Lift is accelerating upwards at 4 m/s2. Slant length of the inclined
plane is Find

4. Refer to the system given alongside of the question. A and B are initially kept at
rest and released at time t = 0. Simultaneously a force F starts acting on A as
shown. All surfaces are frictionless.

from sliding down from A. mA = 10 kg. mB = 5 kg and all surfaces are
frictionless.

III. If the actual applied force is 1.4 times of the above value, find the
acceleration of B relative to A.
