AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In Two Dimensions

An object of mass \(3 \mathrm{~kg}\) is tied by a string of negligible mass to a ceiling and held such that the string is taut. The object is released suddenly such that the string remains taut. It's acceleration when released is (acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(3.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(4.9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(7.5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(6.9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.9 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When object is released, net force acting on it is \(\mathrm{mg}\) \(\sin 30^{\circ}\) as shown, because \(\mathrm{T}=\mathrm{mg} \cos 30^{\circ}\) So, \(\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{mg} \sin 30^{\circ}}{\mathrm{m}}=\mathrm{g} \sin 30^{\circ}=4.9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\)
