CGreater than $W$
c (c) Here applied horizontal force $F$ acts as normal reaction.
For holding the blockForce of friction = Weight of block
$f = W$ $⇒$ $\mu \,R = W$ $⇒$ $\mu \,F = W$
$⇒$ $F = \frac{W}{\mu }$ As $\mu < 1$
$\therefore \;\;\;F > W$

$A$ 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 friction force exists between the block $M$ and the block $m_0$ and not between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface, then the minimum value of $\mu$ for which the block m remains stationary is
A point mass $m$ is suspended from a light thread of length $l$, fixed at $O$, is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed as shown. From your point of view, stationary with respect to the mass, the forces on the mass are
A block $A$ of mass $100\, kg$ rests on another block $B$ of mass $200\, kg$ and is tied to a wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$ and that between $B$ and the ground is $0.3$. The minimum force $F$ required to move the block $B$ is........ $N$ . $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
A $100 \,kg$ car is moving with a maximum velocity of $9 \,m/s$ across a circular track of radius $30\,m$. The maximum force of friction between the road and the car is ........ $N$
A body is sliding down an inclined plane having coefficient of friction $0.5$. If the normal reaction is twice that of the resultant downward force along the incline, the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal is ....... $^o$
A block of mass $5$ kg lies on a rough horizontal table. A force of $19.6\, N$ is enough to keep the body sliding at uniform velocity. The coefficient of sliding friction is
