A heavy box is to dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, person $A$ pushes it at an angle $30^o$ from the horizontal and requires a minimum force $F_A$, while person $B$ pulls the box at an angle $60^o$ from the horizontal and needs minimum force $F_B$. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{5}$ , the ratio $\frac{{{F_A}}}{{{F_B}}}$ is
$\sqrt 3 $
$\frac{5}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
$\sqrt {\frac{3}{2}} $
$\frac{2}{{\sqrt 3 }}$
A $2\,kg$ block slides on a horizontal floor with a speed of $4\, m/s$. It strikes a uncompressed spring, and compresses it till the block is motionless. The kinetic friction force is $110\,N$ and spring constant is $1000\, N/m$. The spring compresses by ........ $cm$
The rear side of a truck is open and a box of $40 \;kg$ mass is placed $5 \,m$ away from the open end as shown in Figure. The coeffictent of friction between the box and the surface below it is $0.15 .$ On a stratght road, the truck starts from rest and accelerates with $2\; m s ^{-2} .$ At what distance from the starting point does the box fall off the truck? (Ignore the size of the box).
Which of the following is self adjusting in nature?
A uniform rope of total length $l$ is at rest on a table with fraction $f$ of its length hanging (see figure). If the coefficient of friction between the table and the chain is $\mu$, then
