Question

A body of mass 20 kg falls through a distance
of 50 cm. What is the loss in P.E.? (Ans. 98 J)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(i) 2 – 3/5 = 2/1 – 3/5

= (2 * 5 – 3 * 1)/5 [LCM (1, 5) = 5]

= (10 - 3)/5

= 7/5

= 1

(ii) 4 + 7/8 = 4/1 + 7/8

= (4 * 8 + 7)/8 [LCM (1, 8) = 8]

= (32 + 7)/8

= 39/8

= 4

(iii) 3/5 + 2/7 = (3 * 7 + 2 * 5)/35 [LCM (7, 5) = 35]

= (21 + 10)/35

= 31/35

(iv) 9/11 – 4/15 = (9 * 15 – 4 * 11)/165 [LCM (11, 15) = 165]

= (135 - 44)/165

= 91/165

(v) 7/10 + 2/5 + 3/2 = (7 * 1 + 2 * 2 + 3 * 5)/10

= (7 + 4 + 15)/10

= 26/10 [26 and 10 are divided by 2]

= 13/5

= 2
