A block of mass 48 kg kept on a smooth horizontal surface is pulled by a rope of length 4 m by a horizontal force of 25 N applied to the other end. If the linear density of the rope is 0.5 kg m-1, the force acting on the block is

  1. A 24 N
  2. B 25 N
  3. C 12 N
  4. D 13 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 24 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, Mass of block M=48 kgLinear density of string λ=0.5 kg m-1Length of string l=4 mForce applied F=25 NTotal mass of the system m=M+λl=50 NNet acceleration of system asys=Fm=2550=0.5 m s-1Suppose Tension at a point connecting end of string with block is T.From the F.B.D. of…
