AIPMT MAINS 2009 Physics Force and Acceleration MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A body, under the action of a force F=6i^8j^+10k^\vec{F} = 6 \hat{i} - 8 \hat{j} + 10 \hat{k}, requires an acceleration of 1 m/s². The mass of this body must be:

A

10 kg

B

20 kg

C

10√2 kg

D

2√10 kg

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The magnitude of the force is calculated using F=6+(8)2+102=102F = \sqrt{6^²⁺ (-8)^2 + 10^2} = 10√2. Using F=maF = ma, the mass is m=Fa=102m = \frac{F}{a} = 10√2 kg.
