$A$ $20\, kg$ 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

  • A
    $0.38$
  • B
    $0.44$
  • C
    $0.52$
  • D
    $0.6$

Is it possible to jump off a perfectly smooth surface? Why?

The blocks $A$ and $B$ are arranged as shown in the figure. The pulley is frictionless. The mass of $A$ is $10 \, kg$. The coefficient of friction of $A$ with the horizontal surface is $0.20$. The minimum mass of $B$ to start the motion will be...... $kg$.

$A$ block of mass $1 \, kg$ is at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $0.5$. The magnitude of the force acting upwards at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal that will just start the block moving is

The limiting friction is

Why is the coefficient of static friction considered a property of the surfaces in contact?
