A body of mass \(10 \mathrm{~kg}\) is kept on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction 0.3 . If a horizontal force of \(50 \mathrm{~N}\) is applied on the body, then the acceleration of the body is
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(1 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass, \(m=10 \mathrm{~kg}\) Coefficient of friction, \(\mathrm{M}=0.3\) force, \(\mathrm{F}=50 \mathrm{~N}\). Acceleration, \(\mathrm{a}=\) ? Net Force is given by, \(F-f_s=m a\) Here, \(\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{s}}=\mu \mathrm{mg}\) [frictional force]…
