Nine five-rupee coins are put on top of each other on a table. Each coin has mass in kg. The reaction of the 5th coin (counted from bottom) on 6th coin is:

Correct answer: C. 4 mg

  • A. 0 mg
  • B. 2 mg
  • C. 4 mg
  • D. 5 mg

Explanation

The 5th coin supports the four coins above it, so the normal reaction equals weight of 4 coins = 4 m g, where m is mass of one coin.

About Force and Motion

Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
