A block weighs $W$ is held against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force $F$. The minimum value of $F$ needed to hold the block is
Less than $W$
Equal to $W$
Greater than $W$
Data is insufficient
Block $B$ of mass $100 kg$ rests on a rough surface of friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of $25 kg$ can climbs on rope without making block move is:
A block of mass $5\, kg$ is $(i)$ pushed in case $(A)$ and $(ii)$ pulled in case $(B)$, by a force $F = 20\, N$, making an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal, as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is $\mu = 0.2$. The difference between the accelerations of the block, in case $(B)$ and case $(A)$ will be ........ $ms^{-2}$ .$(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$
A football player is moving southward and suddenly turns eastward with the same speed to avoid an opponent. The force that acts on the player while turning is :
A block of mass $2 \,kg$ is kept on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is $0.4$. If a force F of $2.5$ Newtons is applied on the block as shown in the figure, the frictional force between the block and the floor will be ........ $N$
A child weighing $25$ kg slides down a rope hanging from the branch of a tall tree. If the force of friction acting against him is $2\, N$, ........ $m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the child (Take $g = 9.8\,m/{s^2})$
