$A$ block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta > \mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $P$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $P$ is varied from $P_1 = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2 = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$,the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like:

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C
    Option C
  • D

Two pulley arrangements shown in the figure are identical. The mass of the rope is negligible. In figure $(a)$,the mass $m$ is lifted by attaching a mass $2m$ to the other end of the rope. In figure $(b)$,$m$ is lifted up by pulling the other end of the rope with a constant downward force $F = 2mg$. The accelerations of $m$ in the two cases are respectively:

Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure.

$A$ ball of mass $0.1\, kg$ is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius $1\, m$ by means of a string at an initial speed of $10\, rpm$. Keeping the radius constant,the tension in the string is reduced to one-quarter of its initial value. The new speed is ....... $rpm$.

$A$ ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table top. The paper is pulled horizontally but quickly towards the right as shown. Relative to its initial position with respect to the table,the ball:
$(A)$ Remains stationary if there is no friction between the paper and the ball.
$(B)$ Moves to the left and starts rolling backwards,$i.e.$,to the left if there is friction between the paper and the ball.
$(C)$ Moves forward,$i.e.$,in the direction in which the paper is pulled.
