C$1.5$
c Answer since the acceleration of the box is due to the static friction.
$m a=f_{s} \leq \mu_{s} N=\mu_{s} m g$
ie. $a \leq \mu_{s} g$
$\therefore a_{\max }=\mu_{ s } g=0.15 \times 10 m s ^{-2}$
$=1.5 m s ^{-2}$

A child weighing $25$ kg slides down a rope hanging from the branch of a tall tree. If the force of friction acting against him is $2\, N$, ........ $m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the child (Take $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2})$
The coefficient of static friction, ${\mu _s},$ between block $A$ of mass $2\, kg$ and the table as shown in the figure is $0.2$. ........ $kg$ would be the maximum mass value of block $B$ so that the two blocks do not move. The string and the pulley are assumed to be smooth and massless. $(g = 10\,m/{s^2})$
A block kept on a rough inclined plane, as shown in the figure, remains at rest upto a maximum force $2\,N$ down the inclined plane. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is $10\,N.$ The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is : $[$Take $g = 10\,m/s^2 ]$
In figure, two blocks are separated by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400\,N$, block $B$ weighs $300\,N$, and the strut $A B$ weigh $200\,N$. If $\mu=0.25$ under $B$, determine the minimum coefficient of friction under $A$ to prevent motion.
Two masses $M$ and $m$ are attached to a vertical axis by weightless threads of combined length $l$. They are set in rotational motion in a horizontal plane about this axis with constant angular velocity $\omega $. If the tensions in the threads are the same during motion, the distance of $M$ from the axis is
A man is standing on a rough $(\mu = 0.5)$ horizontal disc rotating with constant angular velocity of $5$ $rad/sec.$ At what distance from centre should he stand so that he does not slip on the disc?
A cyclist riding the bicycle at a speed of $14\sqrt 3 ms^{-1}$takes a turn around a circular road of radius $20\sqrt 3 $ m without skidding. Given $g = 9.8 ms^{-2},$ what is his inclination to the vertical ....... $^o$
