$A$ 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

  • A
    $5 \, N$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{2 + \sqrt{3}} \, N$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \, N$
  • D
    $10 \, N$

If the mass of an object is doubled,what will be the effect on the coefficient of friction?

$A$ box of mass $2 kg$ is placed on the roof of a car. The box would remain stationary until the car attains a maximum acceleration. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the roof of the car is $0.2$ and $g=10 ms^{-2}$. This maximum acceleration of the car,for the box to remain stationary,is: (in $ms^{-2}$)
