AIIMS 2019 Physics Forces MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If potential energy is given by

U=ar2brU = \frac{a}{r^2} - \frac{b}{r}

Then find out maximum force. (Given a=2,b=4\text{a} = 2, \text{b} = 4).

A

1627 N-\frac{16}{27}\text{ N}

B

3227 N-\frac{32}{27}\text{ N}

C

+3227 N+\frac{32}{27}\text{ N}

D

+1627 N+\frac{16}{27}\text{ N}

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Option A is correct because it accurately substitutes the values into the force expression F=2ar3br2F = \frac{2a}{r^3} - \frac{b}{r^2} using a=2a = 2 and r=32r = \frac{3}{2}, resulting in Fmax=2×2(3/2)34(3/2)2F_{\text{max}} = \frac{2 \times 2}{(3/2)^3} - \frac{4}{(3/2)^2}.

Option B incorrectly calculates the values by not following the correct substitution process, leading to a different expression for FmaxF_{\text{max}}. Option C presents a numerical result that does not match the calculations derived from the given force expression, while option D is irrelevant since option A is indeed valid. Understanding how to substitute values into force equations is crucial for solving problems in classical mechanics.
