A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds?

उत्तर
Given side of square field = 10m
Then the perimeter of that square field = 4 × 10
= 40m
Total time = 2 minute 20 sec
= (2 × 60 + 20)
= 140 sec
Hence, the distance covered in going around the square field = perimeter of the field
Total distance covered in 40 sec = 40m
Total distance covered in 140 sec = `(40/40) xx140` m
= 140 m
This number of rounds = `140/40`
= 3.5
In 140 sec, that farmer will take 3.5 rounds.
Displacement = Diagonal of square = `(102+102) 1/2`
= `(200)1/2`
= `10sqrt2` m
Hence, magnitude of displacement = `10sqrt2` m
