In the figure shown, a block of weight $10 \,N$ resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. A force of $3.5\, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of $3 \,N$ is applied to the block, then the block will

A block of mass $m$ is moving with a constant acceleration a on a rough plane. If the coefficient of friction between the block and ground is $\mu $, the power delivered by the external agent after a time $t$ from the beginning is equal to

A body takes $1\frac{1}{3}$ times as much time to slide down a rough identical but smooth inclined plane. If the angle of inclined plane is $45^o$, the coefficient of friction is

A truck starting from rest moves with an acceleration of $5 m/s^2$ for $1 sec$ and then moves with constant velocity. The velocity $w.r.t$ ground $v/s$ time graph for block in truck is ( Assume that block does not fall off the truck)

A block of mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. A steadily increasing horizontal force is applied such that the block starts to slide on the table without toppling. The force is continued even after sliding has started. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the table and the block to be equal. The correct representation of the variation of the frictional force $f$, exerted by the table on the block with time $t$ is given by
