Question

5. A worker transferred 25 bags of floor weighing 18kg 40g each into a truck. the weight of empty truck is 2450kg. what will be the total weight of the truck with the bags​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hole is on the floor , that means sand is falling vertically with respect to trolley. Therefore there is no force in horizontal direction hence in horizontal direction momentum is conserved.

Let M= mass of trolley

m= mass of sandbag

v

1

= initial velocity

v

2

= final velocity ( to be found)

Then P

1

=(M+m)v

1

when the sand bag is empty the momentum is

P

2

=(M+0)v

2

Momentum is conserved in horizontal direction so

P

1

=P

2

⇒=v

2

=

M

(M+m)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 kg 40g=18000+40=18040g

the weight of empty truck is 2450kg

2450kg=2450×1000=2450000g

So,the total weight of the truck with the bags is (2450000g+18040g)=2468040g

=2468.04kg
