Q.7. Locomotive requires to exert constant force of 68N per tonne when it is in motion. This force is required to overcome force of friction.

Force required to be exerted=30×68=2040N

Additional force is required to accelerate the train. We know that rate of change of speed is acceleration. Using Newton's Second Law of motion and inserting values in SI units we get

F=ma
F=30000×0.5=15000N

Total force required =2040+15000=17040

17.04kN

Q. 8. We know that

Power=work donetime taken ......(1)

Work done W in raising weight of 30 tonnes through a distance of 24m

W=Force×Distance .....(2)

Also

Force=mg ......(3)
where m is mass of object and g is acceleration due to gravity, =9.8ms2

Inserting values in equation (1) in SI units we get

Power=30000×9.8×240.5×60×60
Power=70560001800=3920W

3.92kW

Q. 9. Centrifugal force Fc experienced by a body of mass m while rotating in a circle of radius r with angular velocity ω is given by the expression

Fc=mrω2 ......(1)

It is given that mass revolves about a point 2 meters from its centre of gravity. r=2m

Units of ω are radians per second

Mass revolves at a speed of 60 revolutions per minute.
it revolves at a speed of 1 revolution per second.
One revolution is equal to 2π radians
Hence ω=2π radians per second

Inserting values in (1) we get

Fc=5×2×(2π)2

Fc=394.8N, rounded to one decimal place.
