A Long pliablle carpet is laid on ground. One end of the carpet is bent back and pulled backwards with a constant velocity of 16 m/s. If mass/length of the carpet is 1 Kg/m , the minimum force required to pull the carpet is :

a) 4 N b) 8 N c) 16 N d)128 N

Please give a detailed solution....The ans given is d) 128 N.

A cart containing sand is moving under the action of a constant force F. A hole is opened at the bottom so that sand flows out at constant rate \mu kg/s. If the velocity of the cart at any instant is v then the thrust force due to this change of mass is :

a) \mu v b) \mu v2 c) F - \mu v d)Zero.

The ans given is d) zero....Shudn't it be a

please give a detailed solution...

will be adding more....

for the second question

the mass is falling in the downward direction initially leaving with zero velocity.

note: that the cart has velocity in the horizontal direction.

since since relative to the cart the leavng mass has zero relative velocity there is no thrust.
