  • A
    $\frac{v^2}{2\mu g}$
  • B
    $\frac{v^2}{\mu g}$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{v}{\mu g} \right)^2$

$A$ movable steel plate is placed between fixed steel and brass plates and the stack of plates is subjected to a weight of $100 \ N$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction for steel on steel is $0.57$ and for steel on brass is $0.44$. Assuming that the entire weight comes onto the stack and that the weight of the plates is negligible in comparison to the applied weight,the force required to move the middle plate (in $N$) is

$A$ block of mass $10\, kg$ starts sliding on a surface with an initial velocity of $9.8\, m/s$. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is $0.5$. The distance covered by the block before coming to rest is: [use $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$].........$m$

$A$ block of mass $5 \,kg$ is pulled by a force $F$ as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction is $0.1$, then the force needed to accelerate the block to $3 \,m/s^2$ to the right is close to (in $\,N$)

$A$ boat of mass $700 \,kg$ is travelling at a speed of $24 \,ms^{-1}$ when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of frictional force $f$ between the boat and water is given by $f = 35v$, where $v$ is the speed in $ms^{-1}$ and $f$ is in newton. Find the time taken for the speed of the boat to become $6 \,ms^{-1}$. (in $\,s$)
