c The figure show the free body diagram of block.
Here, the force of friction is equal to the weight of block.
$f=W$
$\mu R = W$
$\therefore F =\frac{ W }{\mu}$
As,
$\mu < 1$
$\therefore F > W$

A body is moving along a rough horizontal surface with an initial velocity $6\,\,m/s.$ If the body comes to rest after travelling $9\, m$, then the coefficient of sliding friction will be
Concretemixture is made by mixing cement, stone and sand in a rotating cylindrical drum . If the drum rotates too fast, the ingredients remain stuck to the wall of the drum and proper mixing of ingredients does not take place. The maximum rotational speed of the drum in revolutions per minute (rpm) to ensure proper mixing is close to (Take the radius of the drum to be $1.25\, m$ and its axle to be horizontal)
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 block is moving on an inclined plane making an angle $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The force required to just push it up the inclined plane is $3$ times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down. If we define $N=10 \ \mu$, then $N$ is
A car has to move on a level turn of radius $450\,m.$ If the coefficient of static friction between tyre and the road is $\mu = 0.2.$ Find the maximum speed the car can take without skidding is given by ........ $m/s$
A car moves along a circular track of radius $R$ banked at an angle of $30^o$ to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the track is $\mu$ . The maximum speed with which the car can move without skidding out is
