SECTION-D

Ouestions number 29 and 30 are case study-based questions. Read the following
paragraphs and answer the questions that follow.
29 When two bodies are in contact, each experiences a contact force by the other. Friction,
by delinition, is thecomponent of the contact force parallelto the surfaces in contact,
which opposes impending or actual relative motion between the
Iwosurfaces. Consider a box lying in the compartment of atrain that is accelerating. If
the box is stationary relative to the train, it is in fact accelerating along with the
train.Static friction provides the same acceleration to the box as that
of the train, keeping it stationary relative to the.train.

i) Determine the maximum acceleration of the train in which a box lying on its floor
willremain stationary,given that the co-eficient of static friction between the
box and the train's floor is 0.15.

30 An object that is in flight after being thrown or projected is called a projectile. Such a 4
projectile might be a football. a cricket ball, a baseball or any other object. The motion of
a projectile may be thought of as the result of two separate, simultaneously occurring
components of motions. It was Galileo who first stated this independency of the
horizontal and the verticalcomponents of projectile motion in his Dialogue on the great
world systeims.
