Question

A unidirectional force F varying with time t as shown in the fig. acts on a body initially at rest for a short duration 2T. Then the velocity acquired by the body is

Moderate
Solution

Area under the graph is zero Hence change in momentum = 0
m (v – u) = 0 ⇒ m (v – 0) = 0
 

Since m is not zero ,

  ⇒ V = 0
