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
As shown in the figure, a block of mass $\sqrt{3}\, kg$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction $\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal such that it does not move, will be $3 x$. The value of $3x$ will be
$\left[ g =10 m / s ^{2} ; \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ; \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right]$
A block is projected upwards on an inclined plane of inclination $37^o$ along the line of greatest slope of $\mu = 0.5$ with velocity of $5 m/s$. The block $1^{st}$ stops at $a$ distance of .......... $m$ from starting point
A body of mass $10\, kg$ is lying on a rough plane inclined at an angle of $30^o$ to the horizontal and the coefficient of friction is $0.5$. the minimum force required to pull the body up the plane is ........ $N$
A body of mass $10$ kg slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is $1/\sqrt 3 $. Taking $g = 10\,m/{s^2}$, the least force which acts at an angle of $30^o $ to the horizontal is ...... $N$
Radius of the curved road on national highway is $R$. Width of the road is $b$. The outer edge of the road is raised by $h$ with respect to inner edge so that a car with velocity $v$ can pass safe over it. The value of $h$ is
Abody is placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ .As the angle $\theta$ is increased from $0^o$ to $90^o$ the contact force between the block and the plane
The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is $0.5$ and the table is smooth. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied to move the blocks together is $\ldots \ldots . N$. (take $\left.g=10\, {ms}^{-2}\right)$
An inclined plane is bent in such a way that the vertical cross-section is given by $y =\frac{ x ^{2}}{4}$ where $y$ is in vertical and $x$ in horizontal direction. If the upper surface of this curved plane is rough with coefficient of friction $\mu=0.5,$ the maximum height in $cm$ at which a stationary block will not slip downward is............$cm$
