A block of mass $m$ lying on a rough horizontal plane is acted upon by a horizontal force $P$ and another force $Q$ inclined at an angle $\theta $ to the vertical. The block will remain in equilibrium, if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is
30-1

  • A
    $\frac{{(P + Q\sin \theta )}}{{(mg + Q\cos \theta )}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{(P\cos \theta + Q)}}{{(mg - Q\sin \theta )}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{(P + Q\cos \theta )}}{{(mg + Q\sin \theta )}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{(P\sin \theta - Q)}}{{(mg - Q\cos \theta )}}$

$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.

A bullet of mass $20\, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \,m/s$ passes  through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \,kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet  emerges with a speed of $100\, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \,cm$ on the surface  before coming to rest, the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

A block of mass $50 \,kg$ can slide on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.6$. The least force of pull acting at an angle of $30^°$ to the upward drawn vertical which causes the block to just slide is ........ $N$

A block of mass $2 \,kg$ rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of $30°$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is $ 0.7$. The frictional force on the block is ....... $N$.

A block of mass $M$ is held against a rough vertical well by pressing it with a finger. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is $\mu $ and acceleration due to gravity is $g$, calculate the minimum force required to be applied by the finger to hold the block against the wall.
