Two forces 5N and 10N are acting at "O" and "P" respectively on a uniform rod of length 100 cm suspended at the position of cent
er of gravity 50cm mark as shown in figure .
1 answer:
Answer:
Option C. 75 cm
Explanation:
To obtain the position of P, let us calculate the value of y as shown in the attached photo.
The value of y can be obtained as follow:
Anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment
Anticlockwise moment = 5 × 50
Anticlockwise moment = 250
Clockwise moment = y × 10
Anticlockwise moment = clockwise moment
250 = y × 10
Divide both side by 10
y = 250/10
y = 25 cm
Finally, we shall obtain the value of P as follow:
Since P lies after the pivot (i.e 50 cm), therefore,
P = 50 + y
y = 25
P = 50 + 25
P = 75 cm
Therefore, the position of P on the metre rod is 75 cm

1) The average velocity is
2) The instantaneous velocity is
Explanation:
1)
The average velocity of an object is given by
where
d is the displacement
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function
where t is the time.
The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is
While the position at time t = 12 sec is
So, the displacement is
And therefore the average velocity is
2)
The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.
The position vector is
By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:
Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.
