21. A man pulls a teapot with a strong jerk. The

teapot does not move but the thread snaps.

(b)

Which statement is correct?

A
B

Explain this observation.

The frictional force between the teapot

and the table is too big to overcome by
the pulling force. Hence the forces act on
the thread and snap it.
The heavy teapot causes its base to be
attached on the surface of the table. The
pulling force is not great enough to
overcome the attachment.
The inertia of the teapot opposes effort to
change its original state of rest. Hence
the force applied by the jerk causes the
thread to snap.
The jerking force cannot move the teapot
because the thread is too fine. The force
causes the thread to snap.
