A body of mass 2 kg travels according to the law x(t)=pt+qt2+rt3 where, p=3 ms 1, q=4 ms 2 and r=5 ms 3. The force acting on the body at t=2  is

1. 136 N
2. 134 N
3. 158 N
4. 68 N
(a) Hint: Using the equation of motion of the particle, we can find the acceleration of the particle.
Step 1: Find the acceleration and force acting on the particle.
Given, mass = 2 kg
x(t)=pt+qt2+rt3v=dxdt=p+2qt+3rt2a=dvdt=0+2q+6rt at t=2s;a=2q+6×2×r=2q+12r=2×4+12×5=8+60=68m/s Force =F=ma=2×68=136N
