As shown in the figure, a block of mass $\sqrt{3}\, kg$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction $\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal such that it does not move, will be $3 x$. The value of $3x$ will be

$\left[ g =10 m / s ^{2} ; \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ; \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right]$

In a circus, a performer throws an apple towards a hoop held at $45 \,m$ height by another performer standing on a high platform (see figure). The thrower aims for the hoop and throws the apple with a speed of $24 \,m / s$. At the exact moment that the thrower releases the apple, the other performer drops the hoop. The hoop falls straight down. At ............ $m$ height above the ground does the apple go through the hoop?
From a circular ring of mass $'\mathrm{M}'$ and radius $'R'$ an arc corresponding to a $90^{\circ}$ sector is removed. The moment of inertia of the remaining part of the ring about an axis passing through the centre of the ring and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is $'K'$ times $\mathrm{MR}^{2}.$ Then the value of $'\mathrm{K}'$ is
