A uniform cube of mass \(m\) and side \(a\) is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. A vertical force \(F\) is applied to the edge as shown in the figure. Match the following (most appropriate choice).
List- I | List- II | ||
(a) | \(mg/4<F<mg/2\) | (i) | cube will move up. |
(b) | \(F>mg/2\) | (ii) | cube will not exhibit motion. |
(c) | \(F>mg\) | (iii) | cube will begin to rotate and slip at A. |
(d) | \(F=mg/4\) | (iv) | normal reaction effectively at \(a/3\) from A, no motion. |
1. | a - (i), b - (iv), c - (ii), d - (iii) |
2. | a - (ii), b - (iii), c - (i), d - (iv) |
3. | a - (iii), b - (i), c - (ii), d - (iv) |
4. | a - (i), b - (ii), c - (iv), d - (iii) |
Consider the below diagram
Moment of the force F about point A, = (anti-clockwise)
Moment of weight mg of the cube about point A.
Step 2: Equate the torques for no motion and find the value of F.
( In this case, both the torque will cancel the effect of each other)
Step 3: Find the value of F for which cube will rotate.
Cube will rotate only when,
Step 4: If the normal reaction is acting at a/3 from point A and for no motion find F and interpret.
Let the normal reaction is acting at a/3 from point A, then
When which is less than mg/3.
there will be no motion,
