Nurture Physics Lec 11

This document discusses applying vectors to problems involving Newton's laws of motion for blocks on an inclined plane. It provides examples of correctly and incorrectly setting up free body diagrams and force equations to determine accelerations. The key points are that the acceleration is always down the incline, tensions cannot be negative forces, and both blocks will have the same acceleration if pushing against each other. Through working multiple examples step-by-step, it emphasizes the importance of ensuring force directions and values make physical sense.

Q) Find the Normal Contact Force on m2.

FBD of m1 and m2 

Using Force Equations 


Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of the blocks.

Consider
-along the plane as X Axis
-perpendicular the plane as Y Axis
If vector value comes out negative, it means the
direction we assumed in the question is opposite
to the actual direction.
FBD of 5 KG Block FBD of 10 Kg Block

Q) Find the acceleration of the blocks.

Applying Force equations

Few more important points to be kept in mind-


-acceleration is along the direction of incline
and hence we write force equation along the
incline.
-Acceleration of both the blocks is same as
they are pushing each other.

Final Answer  -8/3 m/s2 i.e. Down the


incline with 8/3 m/s2 ;(N = 100/3 N)
Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of the blocks.

Consider-
-Along the inline as X Axis
-Perpendicular to the incline as Y Axis

FBD of 5 Kg Block FBD of 10 Kg Block


Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of the blocks.

Applying Force Equations-


But this is wrong. How?
When we calculate value of N (Normal
Contact Force). It is coming negative.
But negative means opposite to the
direction we assumed.
But N can only be pushing force, it
cannot pull. Hence value of N cannot
be negative.
Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of the blocks.

Again applying Force Equations-


Since N cannot be negative, so only
possibility is N = 0
Redrawing FBD and solving we get-
a1 = 6m/s2 down the incline
a2 = 1 m/s2 down the incline
Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of both blocks
in both cases.

Part (A)-

Ans-
a= 10 m/s2
Vectors Application in NLM
Q) Find the acceleration of both blocks
in both cases.

Part (B)-
In this Tension force is coming
negative which is not possible as
Tension is pulling force and can never
push.
So following will be correct solution of
B.
a1 = 30 m/s 2
a2 = 0 m/s 2

Q) Find the acceleration of both blocks.

Q) Find the acceleration of both blocks.

Applying force equations

Ans –
