Question
. When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it. Explain.
Solution
-
A carpet is a woven material that often collects dust and dirt particles from the environment. These particles get trapped within the fibers of the carpet.
-
When the carpet is left undisturbed, these particles remain lodged within the fibers. This is because the force of gravity pulling the particles down is balanced by the frictional force between the particles and the carpet fibers.
-
When the carpet is beaten with a stick, it introduces a new force that disturbs this balance. The impact of the stick causes the carpet to vibrate or shake.
-
These vibrations travel through the carpet fibers, causing the dust particles to move. If the force of the vibrations is greater than the frictional force holding the particles, they will be dislodged.
-
Once dislodged, the dust particles are free to move and are expelled from the carpet, appearing as a cloud of dust. This is why dust comes out of a carpet when it is beaten with a stick.
