Define force. What is contact force? Write two examples of field force.
(N/A) $1$. Definition of Force: Force is defined as a push or a pull acting on an object,which has the capacity to change the state of rest or uniform motion of the object or change its shape or size.
$2$. Contact Force: $A$ contact force is a force that acts on an object only when it comes in physical contact with another object. Examples include friction,tension,and normal force.
$3$. Field Force (Non-contact force): $A$ field force is a force that acts on an object even without any physical contact,typically through a field (like gravitational or electromagnetic field). Two examples are:
$(i)$ Gravitational force
(ii) Electrostatic force

View SolutionOne end of a horizontal uniform beam of weight $W$ and length $L$ is hinged on a vertical wall at point $O$ and its other end is supported by a light inextensible rope. The other end of the rope is fixed at point $Q$,at a height $L$ above the hinge at point $O$. $A$ block of weight $\alpha W$ is attached at the point $P$ of the beam,as shown in the figure. The rope can sustain a maximum tension of $(2 \sqrt{2}) W$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
Two persons are holding a rope of negligible weight tightly at its ends so that it is horizontal. $A$ $15\, kg$ weight is attached to the rope at the mid-point,which now no longer remains horizontal. The minimum tension required to completely straighten the rope is
