$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a surface having a vertical cross-section given by $y = x^2 / 4$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$,the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is:

  • A
    $1/4 \ m$
  • B
    $1/2 \ m$
  • C
    $1/6 \ m$
  • D
    $1/3 \ m$

An insect is at the bottom of a hemispherical ditch of radius $R = 1\, m$. It crawls up the ditch but starts slipping after it is at height $h$ from the bottom. If the coefficient of friction between the ground and the insect is $\mu = 0.75$,then $h$ is $.......\, m$. $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

$A$ mass of $4\; kg$ rests on a horizontal plane. The plane is gradually inclined until at an angle $\theta = 15^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the mass just begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface?
