Illustrative Problem
A rocket moving in free space has a
speed of 3.0 103 m/s relative to
earth. Its engines are turned on and
fuel is ejected in a direction opposite
the rocket’s motion at a speed of 5.0
103 m/s relative to the rocket.
(a) What is the speed of the rocket relative to
Earth once its mass is reduced to one half its
mass before ignition ?
(b) What is the thrust on the rocket if it burns
fuel at the rate of 50 kg/s ?

A block of mass 2.5 kg rests on a
smooth, horizontal surface. It is
struck by a horizontal jet of water
at the flow rate of 1kg/s and a
speed of 10m/s. What will be the
starting acceleration of the block?

Class Exercise - 3
A light spring, hanging from a
rigid support, supports a light
pulley. A light and unstretchable
string goes around the pulley.
One end of the string is tied to
the floor and the other end
supports a hanging mass m. If
the mass has dropped by a
height h, express k in terms of m
and h.
k

m
Solution
Let the spring stretch by x.
Then the string moves by
2x. So when mass moves
by h, the spring stretches
by h
.

An insect inside a hemispherical
bowl is trying to climb out. The
radius of the bowl is r and the
coefficient of friction between the
bowl and the insect is m . How high
can the insect climb?

Solution
FBD of insect gives [at the point
where it can reach. Beyond that
point mgsinq > f and insect will
slip down.]

A mass m is sliding down an
equally inclined right angled
trough, inclined to the horizontal
by an angle q. m is the coefficient
of kinetic friction between the
trough and m. What is the
acceleration of the mass?

Solution
The block has two surfaces of

Using (i) and (ii)

mg – 2f = (m + 4M)a
Solution
as given for m = 3kg a = 0.6m/s2
3 × 10 – 2f = (3 + 4M)(0.6)
... (iii)
and for m = 4kg a = 1.6 m/s2
Using (iv) and (iii)
40 – 30 = 6.4 + 6.4M – 1.8 – 2.4M
4M = 5.4
M = 1.35 kg
Substituting M in (iii),
2f = 30 – (3 × 4 × 1.35) (0.6)= 12.48N
