The coefficient of static friction, $\mu _s$ between block $A$ of mass $2\,kg$ and the table as shown in the figure is $0.2$. What would be the maximum mass value of block $B$ so that the two blocks $B$ so that the two blocks do not move? The string and the pulley are assumed to be smooth and masseless ....... $kg$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$

Answerd
Let the mass of the block $B$ is $M$.
In equilibrium of block $B$ implies $T=M g \ldots(i)$
If block $A$ does not move, then $T=f_{s}$
where $f_{s}=$ frictional force $=\mu_{S} N=\mu_{s} m g$
implies $T=\mu_{s} m g \ldots(i i)$
Thus, from Eqs. $( i )$ and $(ii),$ we have
$M=\mu_{s} m g$ or $M=\mu_{s} m$
Given: $\mu_{s}=0.2, m=2 k g$
$\therefore M=0.2 \times 2=0.4 k g$

As net external force is less than limiting friction therefore friction on the body will be $250 N.$

A $2 \,kg$ mass starts from rest on an inclined smooth surface with inclination $30^°$ and length $2\, m$. ...... $m$ will it travel before coming to rest on a frictional surface with frictional coefficient of $0.25$
Answera
(a)${v^2} = {u^2} + 2as = 0 + 2 \times g\sin 30$$ \times 2$ $⇒$ $v = \sqrt {20} $
Let it travel distance ‘S’ before coming to rest
$S = \frac{{{v^2}}}{{2\mu g}} = \frac{{20}}{{2 \times 0.25 \times 10}} = 4\,m$

The coefficient of friction between two surfaces is $\mu = 0.8$.The tension in the string shown in the figure is ........ $N$

Answera
Maximum frictional force acting on the block $f=\mu m g \cos 30^{\circ}$ $f=0.8 \times 1 \times 9.8 \times 0.866=6.8 N$
Downward force $=m g \sin 30=1 \times 9.8 \times 0.5=4.9 \mathrm{N}$
since downward force is less than maximum frictional force, thus the tension in the string is zero.

$\therefore$ Net force $=\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right)$ a $_{\mathrm{net}}$
$\therefore \quad\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right) \mathrm{g} \sin \theta-\left(\mu \mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{g} \cos \theta+\mu \mathrm{m}_{2} \underline{\mathrm{g}} \cos \theta\right)$
$=\left(\mathrm{m}_{1}+\mathrm{m}_{2}\right) \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{net}}$
$\therefore a_{n e t}=g\left(\sin \theta-\frac{\left(\mu m_{1}+\mu m_{2}\right) \cos \theta}{m_{1}+m_{2}}\right)$
Here, $m_{1}=4 \mathrm{kg}, \mathrm{m}_{2}=2 \mathrm{kg}, \theta=30^{\circ} ; \mu=0.3$

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised about the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches $30^o$, the box starts to slip and slides $4.0\, m$ down the plank in $4.0\,s$. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank will be, respectively

- A
$0.4$ and $0.3$
- B
$0.6$ and $0.6$
- ✓
$0.6$ and $0.5$
- D
$0.5$ and $0.6$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $0.6$ and $0.5$
c
Coefficient of static friction.
$\mu_{s}=\tan 30^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=0.6$
$a=g \sin 30^{\circ}-\mu_{k} g \cos 30^{\circ}$
$S=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}$
$\Rightarrow 4=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{\mathrm{g}}{2}-\frac{\mu_{\mathrm{k}} \mathrm{g} \sqrt{3}}{2}\right] \times 16 \Rightarrow \mu_{\mathrm{k}}=0.5$

Block of mass $10 \,kg$ is moving on inclined plane with constant velocity $10 \,m / s$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between incline plane and block is ...........

AnswerCorrect option: B. $0.75$
b
(b)
$\sum F y=0$
$\Rightarrow N - mg \cos \theta=0$
$\Rightarrow N = mg \cos \theta----(1)$
$Fx =0$ (as constant velocity $\Rightarrow$ No acceleration)
$\Rightarrow mg \sin \theta-\mu_{ k } N =0$
$\Rightarrow mg \sin \theta-\mu_{ k } mg \cos \theta=0$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta\left(\tan \theta-\mu_{ k }\right)=0$
$\Rightarrow \mu_{ k }=\tan \theta=\tan 37^{\circ}=\frac{3}{4}=0.75$
