Forces and laws of motion:

Basic vectors and trigonometry:

A bird is sitting on stretched telephone wires. If its weight is W then the additional tension produced by it in the wires will be
(a) T = W (b) T > W (c) T < W (d) T = 0
Tension and Contact Force
In the Atwood’s machine, the system starts from rest. What is the speed and distance moved by each mass at t =3s? (Ans. 2.67 ms-1,4 m)
 Problems for practice:

1. Two bodies whose masses are = 50 kg and m2 = 150 kg are tied by a light string and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. When is
pulled by a force F, and acceleration of 5 ms-2 is produced in both the bodies. Calculate the value of F. What is the tension in the string?

2. Three identical blocks, each having a mass m are pushed by a force F on a frictionless table as shown below. What is the acceleration of the
blocks?

What is the net force on the block A? What force does A apply on B? What force does B apply on C? Show action-reaction pairs on the
contact surfaces of the blocks.

3. Two masses m1 and m2 are connected by a massless string as shown in figure. Find the value of tension in the string if a force of 200 N is
applied on (i) m1 and (ii) m2.

4. In Fig., find the acceleration a of the system and the tensions T1 and T2 in the strings. Assume that
the table and the pulleys are frictionless and the strings are massless. Take g = 10 ms-2.
