We know that, in a right angled, the circumcentre of the mid-point of hypotenuse.
Mid-point of AC = 8 2 6 2
, 5,22 2
Hence, the required circumcentre is (5, 2).
28. If orthocentre and circumcentre of a triangle are respectively (1, 1) and (3, 2), then the coordinates of
its centroid are
(a) 7 5

(b) 5 7
,3 3
(c) (7, 5) (d) none of these
Ans. (a)
Solution:
We know that, centroid divides the line segment joining orthocentre and circumcentre in the ratio 2 :
1. Since, the coordinates of orthocentre are (1, 1) and (3, 2), respectively.
The coordinates of centroid are

Solution:
A straight line perpendicular to 2x + y = 3 is
2y – x + c = 0 …(i)
Since, it passes through (1, 1).
2(1) – 1 + c = 0 c = – 1
On putting c = – 1 in Eq. (i), we get
2y x 1 0 2y x 1 y x

is given a uniform acceleration of 3 ms–2. At what distance from the starting point will the block fall off
the trolley ? Take g = 10 ms–2.

Pioneer Education| SCO 320, Sector 40–D, Chandigarh +91-9815527721, 0172-4617721 Page 20 of 42
www.pioneermathematics.com
(a) 15 m (b) 20 m (c) 25 m (d) 30 m
Ans. (a)
Solution:
Since the block is placed on the trolley, the acceleration of the block = acceleration of the trolley a = 3
ms–2. Therefore, the force acting on the block is
F = ma = 10 3 = 30 N
The weight mg of the block is balanced by the normal reaction R. As the trolley accelerates in the
forward direction, it exerts a reaction force F = 30 N on the block in the backward direction, as shown
in the figure. The force of friction will oppose this force and will act in a direction opposite to that of F.
The force of limiting friction f is given by
f f
μR mg
or f μmg 0.2 10 10 20N
Thus, the block is acted upon by two forces-force F = 30N towards the right and frictional force f = 20 N
towards the left see fig. The net force on the block towards the right, i.e. towards the rear end of the
trolley is
F’ = F – f = 30 – 20 = 10 N.
Due to this force, the block experiences an acceleration towards the rear end which is given by
2F' 10a' 1 ms
m 10
Let t be the time taken for the block to fall from the rear end of the trolley. Clearly, the block has to
travel a distance S’ = 5 m to fall off the trolley. Since the trolley starts from rest, initial velocity u = 0.
Now t can be obtained from the relation
21s ut at
2
Putting s = 5m, u = 0 and a = a’ = 1 ms–2, we get t = 10 s.
The distance covered by the trolley in time t = 10 s is ( u 0)

(a) m

(a) 600 Nm–1 (b) 800 Nm–1 (c) 1000Nm–1 (d) 1200 Nm–1

Since the platform is depressed by an amount x, the total work done on the spring is mg (h + x). This
