Physics, asked by mjsingh4400, 1 year ago

Spring fitted doors close by themselves when released. You want to keep the door open for a long time, say for an hour. If you put a half kg stone in front of the open door, it does not help. The stone slides with the door and the door gets closed. However, if you sandwitch a 20 g piece of wood in the small gap between the door and the floor, the door stays open. Explain why a much lighter piece of wood is able to keep the door open while the heavy stone fails.

HEY MATE...!!!

The answer to your question is:

In the First case when a stone is kept, It

is unable to keep the door open, this is

because the Normal force between the

door and block just only equal to the

Weight of the Body, which can be easily

balanced by the Door.

But in case the Sandwich of 20 g is

placed in small gap, it will produce

large friction which will only be

balanced by the Normal Reaction of the

Door. Thus, the Door remains Open for

longer time, until and unless the

Sandwich is in it.

Also, the above reason can be

specified as the

"It is due to the greater force of

friction developed in the second case.

The force of friction developed

depends upon normal force developed

not on the weight of the object."

"In the first case the normal force

developed is only equal to weight of

the half kg stone. In the second case

the sandwiched piece of wood is

pressed down by the door which

results in much higher normal force. So

the force of friction is much higher too

and the small lighter piece of wood is

able to stop the door"

Hope it helps you ❤️ ✌️✌️
