A block of mass $m$ (initially at rest) is sliding up (in vertical direction) against a rough vertical wall with the help of a force $F$ whose magnitude is constant but direction is changing. $\theta  = {\theta _0}t$  where $t$ is time in sec. At $t$ = $0$ , the force is in vertical upward direction and then as time passes its direction is getting along normal, i.e., $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ .The value of $F$ so that the block comes to rest when $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ , is

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ are released from the top of a rough inclined plane so that $A$ slides along the plane and $B$ falls down freely. Which will have higher velocity on reaching the ground ?

A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $M$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is
