A small block starts slipping down from a point $B$ on an inclined plane $A B,$ which is making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal section $BC$ is smooth and the remaining section $CA$ is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu .$ It is found that the block comes to rest as it reaches the bottom (point $A)$ of the inclined plane. If $B C=2A C$, the coefficient of friction is given by $\mu=k \tan \theta$ .The value of $k$ is

Determine the maximum acceleration in $m/s^2$ of the train in which a box lying on its floor will remain stationary, given that the co-efficient of static friction between the box and the train’s floor is $0.15.$
The coefficient of static friction between a wooden block of mass $0.5\, kg$ and a vertical rough wall is $0.2$ The magnitude of horizontal force that should be applied on the block to keep it adhere to the wall will be $N$ $\left[ g =10\, ms ^{-2}\right]$
In the figure shown, a block of weight $10 \,N$ resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. A force of $3.5\, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of $3 \,N$ is applied to the block, then the block will
In figure, two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Imagine a situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside an elevator that can move only in the vertical direction and compare the situation with the case when it is placed on the ground. When the elevator accelerates downward with $a_0( < g)$, then
If the radius of curvature of the path of two particles of same mass are in the ratio $3:4,$ then in order to have constant centripetal force, their velocities will be in the ratio of:
In the diagram, $BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $\frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$ then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Then value of $\mu + \sqrt 3 $ is :-
