A block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta>\mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $\mathrm{P}$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $\mathrm{P}$ is varied from $\mathrm{P}_1=$ $m g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2=m g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$, the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like

A block (mass $=M kg$ ) is placed on a rough inclined plane. A force $F$ is applied parallel to the inclined (as shown in figure) such that it just starts moving upward. The value of $F$ is
A body of weight $64\, N$ is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a horizontal floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction are $0.6$ and $0.4$ respectively, the acceleration of the body will be (Acceleration due to gravity $= g$)
$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on $a$ horizontal surface and it is tied with an inextensible string to $a$ block of mass, as shown in figure. A block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$ If there is no friction between any two surfaces, then
A particle is projected with a speed ${v_0} = \sqrt {gR} $ . The coefficient of friction between the particle and the hemispherical plane is $\mu = 0.5$ . Then, the initial acceleration of the particle is
A man pulls a block heavier than himself with a light horizontal rope. The coefficient of friction is the same between the man and the ground, and between the block and the ground
A block of mass $M$ slides down on a rough inclined plane with constant velocity. The angle made by the incline plane with horizontal is $\theta$. The magnitude of the contact force will be.
