JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.1 newtons laws of motion
All surfaces shown in figure are assumed to be frictionless and the pulleys and the string are light. The acceleration of the block of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) is : _______.

- A \(g\)
- B \(\frac{g}{3}\)
- C \(\frac{g}{2}\)
- D \(\frac{g}{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{g}{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( 40-2 \mathrm{~T}=4 \mathrm{a} \) \( \mathrm{T}-10=4 \mathrm{a} \Rightarrow 20=12 \mathrm{a} \) \( \Rightarrow \mathrm{a}=5 / 3 \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{a}=\frac{g}{3}\)

- A beaker contains a fluid of density \(\rho \, kg / m^3\), specific heat \(S\, J / kg\,^oC\) and viscosity \(\eta \). The beaker is filled upto height \(h\). To estimate the rate of heat transfer per unit area \((Q / A)\) by convection when beaker is put on a hot plate, a student proposes that it should depend on \(\eta \,,\,\left( {\frac{{S\Delta \theta }}{h}} \right)\) and \(\left( {\frac{1}{{\rho g}}} \right)\) when \(\Delta \theta \) (in \(^oC\)) is the difference in the temperature between the bottom and top of the fluid. In that situation the correct option for \((Q / A)\) isJEE Mains 2015 Hard
