The distance ' $\mathrm{s}$ ' in meters covered by a particle in $\mathrm{t}$ seconds is given by $s=2+27 t-t^3$. The particle will stop after
distance.
  1. 65 meters
  2. 80 meters
  3. 56 meters
  4. 60 meters

Solution

$\mathrm{s}=2+27 \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{t}^3$ and particle stops when its velocity is zero. $\therefore \frac{\mathrm{ds}}{\mathrm{dt}}=27-3 \mathrm{t}^2=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}^2=9 \Rightarrow \mathrm{t}=3 \mathrm{sec} .$ $\therefore$ Distance covered in $3 \mathrm{sec}$, is $\mathrm{S}_{(\mathrm{t}=3)}=2+27(3)-(3)^3=56 \mathrm{~m}$
