An object of mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction $\mu$). $A$ person tries to pull the object by applying a horizontal force,but the object does not move. The force $F$ exerted by the surface on the object is:

  • A
    $F = Mg$
  • B
    $F = \mu Mg$
  • C
    $Mg \le F \le Mg\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}$
  • D
    $Mg \ge F \ge Mg\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}$

Three blocks with masses $m$,$2m$,and $3m$ are connected by strings,as shown in the figure. After an upward force $F$ is applied on block $m$,the masses move upward at a constant speed $v$. What is the net force on the block of mass $2m$? ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)

Two identical balls are connected by a massless and inextensible thread of length $L$. The system is in gravity-free space with the thread just taut. At $t = 0$,each ball is imparted a velocity $v$; one ball is given a velocity towards the other ball,and the other is given a velocity perpendicular to the first. Then,
