Explanation
Newton’s second and third laws lead to the conservation of linear momentum.
Direction of second force should be at 180°.
As the spring balances are massless therefore the reading of both balance should be equal.
Momentum acquired by the particle is numerically equal to area enclosed between the F-t curve and time axis. For the given diagram area in upper half is positive and in lower half is negative (and equal to upper half), so net area is zero. Hence, the momentum acquired by the particle will be zero.
In region AB and CD, slope of the graph is constant i. e., velocity is constant. It means no force acting on the particle in this region.
Impulse = Area between force and time graph and it. is maximum for graph (III) and (IV).
Slope of surface should change from one constant value (non zero) to another constant value (non zero) in terms of sign because force is constant piecewise.
Gravitational field is a conservative field. Therefore work done in moving a particle from A to B is independent of path chosen.
