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

A uniform chain of length $L$ changes partly from a table which is kept in equilibrium by friction. The maximum length that can withstand without slipping is $l$, then coefficient of friction between the table and the chain is

A small body slips, subject to the force of friction, from point $A$ to point $B$ along two curved surfaces of equal radius, first along route $1,$ then along route $2$. Friction does not depend on the speed and the coefficient of friction on both routes is the same. In which case will the body’s speed at $B$ be greater?

A uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ has been placed on a rough horizontal surface. The horizontal force $F$ applied on the rod is such that the rod is just in the state of rest. If the coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$ where $K$ is a $+$ ve constant. Then the tension at mid point of rod is
