A rough vertical board has an acceleration $‘a’$ so that a $2$ kg block pressing against it does not fall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the board should be
A$ > g/a$
B$ < g/a$
C$ = g/a$
D$ > a/g$

A$ > g/a$
a (a) For the limiting condition upward friction force between board and block will balance the weight of the block.
i.e. $F > mg$
==> $\mu (R) > mg$
==> $\mu (ma) > mg$
==> $\mu > \frac{g}{a}$

If a ladder weighing $250\,N$ is placed against a smooth vertical wall having coefficient of friction between it and floor is $0.3$, then what is the maximum force of friction available at the point of contact between the ladder and the floor ........ $N$
A plank is resting on a horizontal ground in the northern hemisphere of the earth at a $45^{\circ}$ latitude. Let the angular speed of the earth be $\omega$ and its radius $r_e$. The magnitude of the frictional force on the plank will be
A heavy box is solid across a rough floor with an initial speed of $4 \,m / s$. It stops moving after $8$ seconds. If the average resisting force of friction is $10 \,N$, the mass of the box (in $kg$ ) is .....
The maximum speed that can be achieved without skidding by a car on a circular unbanked road of radius $R$ and coefficient of static friction $\mu $, is
Aball of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upwards.Assume the force of air resistance has magnitude proportional to the velocity, and direction opposite to the velocity's. At the highest point, the ball's acceleration is
A car travels north with a uniform velocity. It goes over a piece of mud which sticks to the tyre. The particles of the mud, as it leaves the ground are thrown
A block of mass $5\, kg$ is $(i)$ pushed in case $(A)$ and $(ii)$ pulled in case $(B)$, by a force $F = 20\, N$, making an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal, as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is $\mu = 0.2$. The difference between the accelerations of the block, in case $(B)$ and case $(A)$ will be ........ $ms^{-2}$ .$(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$
