A chain of length $L$ rests on a rough table. If $\mu $ be the coefficient of friction, the maximum friction of the chain that can hang over the table will be
$\frac {\mu -1}{\mu }$
$\frac {\mu }{\mu +1}$
$(\mu -1)$
$\frac {1}{\mu +1}$
A hockey player is moving northward and suddenly turns westward with the same speed to avoid an oopponent. The force that acts on the player is
A block of mass $0.1 \,kg$ is held against a wall by applying a horizontal force of $5\, N$ on the block. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is $0.5$, the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is ........ $N$
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
The limiting friction between two bodies in contact is independent of
Block $B$ of mass $100 kg$ rests on a rough surface of friction coefficient $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ rope is tied to block $B$ as shown in figure. The maximum acceleration with which boy $A$ of $25 kg$ can climbs on rope without making block move is:
