A 500 kg horse pulls a cart of mass 1500 kg along a level road with an acceleration of 1 m/s2. If coefficient of sliding friction is 0.2, then force exerted by the earth on horse is

a
3000N
b
4000N
c
5000 N
d
6000N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Force of friction F1=μm1+m2gforce producing accelerationF2 = (m1 + m2)aTotal force applied by the horse = F1 + F2

A skier starts from rest at point A and slides down the hill without turning or breaking. The friction coefficient is μ. When he stops at point B, his horizontal displacement is s. What is the height difference between points A and B

(The velocity of the skier is small, so that the additional pressure on the snow due to the curvature
can be neglected. Neglect also the friction of air and the dependence of μ on the velocity of the skier.)
