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 uniform chain of $6\, m$ length is placed on a table such that a part of its length is hanging over the edge of the table. The system is at rest. The co-efficient of static friction between the chain and the surface of the table is $0.5$, the maximum length of the chain hanging from the table is.......$m.$

A force of $98\, N$ is required to just start moving a body of mass $100\, kg$ over ice. The coefficient of static friction is

What is friction ? Explain static frictional force.

In the figure, a ladder of mass $m$ is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is $\mu_1$ and that between the floor and the ladder is $\mu_2$. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is $N_1$ and that of the floor is $N_2$. If the ladder is about to slip, then

$(A)$ $\mu_1=0 \mu_2 \neq 0$ and $N _2 \tan \theta=\frac{ mg }{2}$

$(B)$ $\mu_1 \neq 0 \mu_2=0$ and $N_1 \tan \theta=\frac{m g}{2}$

$(C)$ $\mu_1 \neq 0 \mu_2 \neq 0$ and $N _2 \tan \theta=\frac{ mg }{1+\mu_1 \mu_2}$

$(D)$ $\mu_1=0 \mu_2 \neq 0$ and $N _1 \tan \theta=\frac{ mg }{2}$

A uniform rope of length l lies on a table. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, then the maximum length ${l_1}$ of the part of this rope which can overhang from the edge of the table without sliding down is
