2. A car starts from rest at a point \(O\) and moves in a straight line. The car moves with constant acceleration \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) until it passes the point \(A\) when it is moving with speed \(10 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). It then moves with constant acceleration \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) for 6 s until it reaches the point \(B\). Find
- the speed of the car at \(B\),
- the distance \(O B\).

A non-uniform plank of wood \(A B\) has length 6 m and mass 90 kg . The plank is smoothly supported at its two ends \(A\) and \(B\), with \(A\) and \(B\) at the same horizontal level. A woman of mass 60 kg stands on the plank at the point \(C\), where \(A C = 2 \mathrm {~m}\), as shown in Fig. 2. The plank is in equilibrium and the magnitudes of the reactions on the plank at \(A\) and \(B\) are equal. The plank is modelled as a non-uniform rod and the woman as a particle. Find - the magnitude of the reaction on the plank at \(B\),
- the distance of the centre of mass of the plank from \(A\).
- State briefly how you have used the modelling assumption that
- the plank is a rod,
- the woman is a particle.
