A wooden block of mass $M$ resting on a rough horizontal surface is pulled with a force $F$ at an angle $\phi $ with the horizontal. If $\mu $ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface, then acceleration of the block is
  • A$\frac{F}{M}\left( {\cos \,\phi  + \mu \,\sin \,\phi } \right) - \mu g$
  • B$F\,\sin \,\phi /M$
  • C$\mu F\,\cos \,\phi $
  • D$\mu F\,\sin \,\phi $

    A uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \mathrm{~kg}$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h( < l)$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough focr. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the st $ck$. The ratio $h / l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick are $\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$
