A small mass $'m'$ rests at the edge of a horizontal disc of radius $'R'$ . The coefficient of static friction between mass and the disc is $\mu $ . The disc is rotated about its axis at an angular velocity such that the mass slides off the disc and lands on the floor $'h'$ meters below. What was its horizontal distance of travel from the point it left the disc?
  • A$\sqrt {\mu h} $
  • B$\sqrt {\mu {{\left( {R + h} \right)}^2}} $
  • C$\sqrt {\mu Rh} $
  • D$\sqrt {2\mu Rh} $

    A block of mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. A steadily increasing horizontal force is applied such that the block starts to slide on the table without toppling. The force is continued even after sliding has started. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the table and the block to be equal. The correct representation of the variation of the frictional force $f$, exerted by the table on the block with time $t$ is given by
