$A$ uniform chain of length $L$ is lying on a horizontal table. If the coefficient of friction between the chain and the table top is $\mu$,what is the maximum length of the chain that can hang over the edge of the table without disturbing the rest of the chain on the table?

  • A
    $\frac{L}{(1+\mu)}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu L}{(1+\mu)}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{(1-\mu)}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu L}{(1-\mu)}$

$A$ body of mass $10 \,kg$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of $0.3$. If a horizontal force of $50 \,N$ is applied to the body, then the acceleration of the body is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,ms^{-2}$)

$A$ block of a certain mass is placed on a rough floor. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the floor are $0.4$ and $0.25$ respectively. $A$ constant horizontal force $F = 20 \text{ N}$ acts on it so that the velocity of the block varies with time according to the following graph. The mass of the block is nearly (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$): (in $\text{ kg}$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides along a floor while a force of magnitude $F$ is applied to it at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{K}$. Then,the block's acceleration $a$ is given by: ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)
