NEET 2024 · PhysicsNormal forcePrevious Year Question

A body of mass m is kept on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction μ). A horizontal force is applied but the body does not move. The magnitude of the resultant F of the normal reaction and the frictional force satisfies:

Answer: (A) mg ≤ |F| ≤ mg√(1+μ²). Correct Answer (A) Solution: N = mg; friction f = applied force, 0 ≤ f ≤ μmg.

  1. A.mg ≤ |F| ≤ mg√(1+μ²)
  2. B.|F| = mg
  3. C.|F| = μmg
  4. D.|F| = mg√(1+μ²)

Correct Answer

(A) mg ≤ |F| ≤ mg√(1+μ²)

Solution & Explanation

Correct Answer (A) Solution: N = mg; friction f = applied force, 0 ≤ f ≤ μmg. Resultant R = √(N²+f²). Minimum (f=0): mg. Maximum (f=μmg): mg√(1+μ²). So mg ≤ |F| ≤ mg√(1+μ²).

PhysA block of mass 2 kg is placed on a rough inclined surface AC (as shown) of coefficient of friction μ. It remains at rest. Taking g = 10 m/s², the net force on the block is:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:PhysA uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall, making 60° with the wall; its lower end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force exerted by the floor is: (g = 10 m/s²)PhysA bob of mass m is suspended by a light string of length l and given a horizontal velocity v₀ at the lowest point. The string goes slack at a point P where it makes an angle θ above the horizontal. The ratio of the speed v at P to the initial speed v₀ is:
