A block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta>\mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $\mathrm{P}$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $\mathrm{P}$ is varied from $\mathrm{P}_1=$ $m g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2=m g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$, the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like
A car of mass $1000\,kg$ negotiates a banked curve of radius $90\,m$ on a frictionless road. If banking angle is $45^o$ , the maximum speed of car is ............ $m/s$ $[g = 10\,m/s^2]$
Given in the figure are two blocks $A$ and $B$ of weight $20\, N$ and $100\, N$, respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force $F$ such that the system does not slide as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $0.1$ and between block $B$ and the wall is $0.15$, the frictional force applied by the wall on block $B$ is ........ $N$
Consider a car moving along a straight horizontal road with a speed of $72\, km/h$. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tyres and the road is $0.5,$ the shortest distance in which the car can be stopped is ........ $m$ .$[g = 10\,m{s^{ - 2}}]$
Starting from rest a body slides down a $45^o$ inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The co-efficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is:
