A system consists of three masses $m_1 , m_2$ and $m_3$ connected by a string passing over a pulley $P.$ The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and $m_2$ and $m_3$ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction $= \mu ).$ The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass $m_1$ is $(Assume\, m = m_2 = m_3 = m)$
A block $B$ is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity $V.$ If $\mu $ is the coefficient of sliding friction between $B$ and the surface, block $B$ will come to rest after a time
A block of mass $15 \,kg $ is resting on a rough inclined plane as shown in figure. The block is tied up by a horizontal string which has tension of $50\,N$. The minimum coefficient of friction between the surfaces of contact is $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
In figure, two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. When the downward acceleration of the elevator becomes equal to $g$, then
A small ball of mass $m$ starts at a point $A$ with speed $v_0$ and moves along a frictionless track $AB$ as shown. The track $BC$ has coefficient of friction $\mu $. The ball comes to stop at $C$ after travelling a distance $L$ which is
A $1.0 kg$ block of wood sits on top of an identical block of wood, which sits on top of a flat level table made of plastic. The coefficient of static friction between the wood surfaces is $\mu_1$, and the coefficient of static friction between the wood and plastic is $\mu_2$. Ahorizontal force $F$ is applied to the top block only, and this force is increased until the top block starts to move. The bottom block will move with the top block if and only if
$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on $a$ horizontal surface and it is tied with an inextensible string to $a$ block of mass, as shown in figure. A block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$ If there is no friction between any two surfaces, then
A piece of ice slides down a rough inclined plane at $\theta=45^{\circ}$ inclination in twice the time that it takes to slide down an identical but frictionless inclined plane. What is the coefficient of friction between ice and incline ?
A $20\, kg$ block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. A horizontal force of $75 \,N$ is required to set the block in motion. After it is in motion, a horizontal force of $60\, N$ is required to keep the block moving with constant speed. The coefficient of static friction is
