Question

A box of mass 50 kg is kept on a horizontal floor. When it is pushed by a horizontal
force H, it moves with constant velocity. If it is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5 H, it moves with
an acceleration of 0.1 m/s2. Find the value of H.

​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• Force=1.5H
• Mass=50kg
• Acceleration=0.1m/s^2
• H=?

According to Newton's second law

$\boxed{\sf Force=Mass\times Acceleration}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.5H=50\times 0.1$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.5H=5$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H=\dfrac{5}{1.5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto H=3.3$
