$A$ chain of length $L$ rests on a rough table. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the maximum fraction of the chain that can hang over the table will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu - 1}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu}{\mu + 1}$
  • C
    $(\mu - 1)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\mu + 1}$

$A$ car of weight $W$ is on an inclined road that rises by $100 \, m$ over a distance of $1 \, km$ and applies a constant frictional force $\frac{W}{20}$ on the car. While moving uphill on the road at a speed of $10 \, m/s$,the car needs power $P$. If it needs power $\frac{P}{2}$ while moving downhill at speed $v$,then the value of $v$ is ........ $m/s$.
