A body of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction $=\mu$ ) A horizontal force is applied on the body, but it does not move. The resultant of normal reaction and the frictional force acting on the object is given by $\mathrm{F},$ where $\mathrm{F}$ is
  • A
    $|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}|=\mathrm{mg}+\mu \mathrm{mg}$
  • B
    $|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}|=\mu \mathrm{mg}$
  • $|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}| \leq \mathrm{mg} \sqrt{1+\mu^{2}} $
  • D
    $|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}|=\mathrm{mg}$

A block of mass $10\; \mathrm{kg}$ is in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindow cylindrical drum of radius $1 \;\mathrm{m}$. The coeffident of friction between the block and the inner wall of the cylinder is $0.1$. The minimum angular velocity needed for the cylinder to keep the block stationary when the cylinder is vertical and rotating about its axis, will be: ......$rad/s$ $\left(g-10 m / s^{2}\right)$
  • A
    $\sqrt{10}$
  • B
     $\frac{10}{2 \pi}$
