Question

A box of mass 50 kg is kept on horizontal floor. When it is pushed by a horizontal force F, it moves with constant velocity. If it is pushed by a horizontal force 1.5F, it moves with constant acceleration of 0.1 m/s2. Find the value of F.

Solution

The correct option is A 10 N
Case 1:
Body moves with constant velocity. Hence, force of kinetic friction (f) should be balanced by applied force (F).
F=f

Case 2:
Applied force is increased to 1.5F.

Using Newton's Second Law of Motion,
1.5Ff=ma
1.5FF=ma
0.5F=50×0.1
F=10 N
