Question
Suppose the ceiling in the previous problem is that of an elevator which is going up with an acceleration of $2.0m/s^2$. Find the elongations.

Answer

$a = 2m/s^2 kl - (2g + 2a) = 0$
$\Rightarrow kl = 2g + 2a = 2 \times 9.8 + 2 \times 2 = 19.6 + 4 = 23.6$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\frac{23.6}{100}=0.236\text{m}=0.24\text{m}$

 When $1\ kg$ body is added total mass $(2 + 1)kg = 3\ kg$.
elongation be$ l_1 kl_1 = 3g + 3a = 3 \times 9.8 + 6 = 33.4$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}_1=\frac{33.4}{100}=0.0334=0.36$
Further elongation $= l_1 - l = 0.36 - 0.24 = 0.12m$.

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/hr is taking a turn on a circular road of radius 50m. A small wooden plate is kept on the seat with its plane perpendicular to the radius of the circular road (figure In). A small block of mass 100g is kept on the seat which rests against the plate.

  1. Find the normal contact force exerted by the plate on the block.
  2. The plate is slowly turned so that the angle between the normal to the plate and the radius of the road slowly increases. Find the angle at which the block will just start sliding on the plate.
