$A$ board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of the addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the log and the board is:

  • A
    $\cos \theta$
  • B
    $\tan \theta$
  • C
    $\cot \theta$
  • D
    $\sin \theta$

$A$ body starts from rest on a long inclined plane of slope $45^o$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane varies as $\mu = 0.3x$,where $x$ is the distance travelled down the plane. The body will have maximum speed (for $g = 10 \ m/s^2$) when $x = $ ........ $m$.

In the above question,the speed of the mass when it has traveled half the maximum distance is:

In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane,two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$. The value of $m$,for which $M=10 \text{ kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \text{ m/s}^2$,is: (take $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\tan 37^{\circ}=3/4$) (in $\text{ kg}$)

$A$ wooden box lying at rest on an inclined surface of a wet wood is held at static equilibrium by a constant force $F$ applied perpendicular to the incline. If the mass of the box is $1 \ kg$,the angle of inclination is $30^{\circ}$ and the coefficient of static friction between the box and the inclined plane is $0.2$,the minimum magnitude of $F$ is (Use $g=10 \ m/s^2$)
