A man pulls a block heavier than himself with a light horizontal rope. The coefficient of friction is the same between the man and the ground, and between the block and the ground

37-706

  • A

    The block will not move unless the man also moves

  • B

    The man can move even when the block is stationary

  • C

    If both move, the acceleration of the man is greater than the acceleration of the block

  • D

    All of the above

Figure shows a man standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt that is accelerating with $1\; m s^{-2}$. What is the net force on the man? If the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the belt is $0.2$, up to what acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? (Mass of the man $= 65 \;kg.)$

A block of mass $15 \;kg$ is placed on a long trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the trolley is $0.18$. The trolley accelerates from rest with $0.5 \;m s ^{-2}$ for $20 \;s$ and then moves with uniform velocity. Discuss the motion of the block as vlewed by

$(a)$ a stationary observer on the ground,

$(b)$ an observer moving with the trolley.

A force of $19.6\, N$ when applied parallel to the surface just moves a body of mass $10 \,kg$ kept on a horizontal surface. If a $5\, kg$ mass is kept on the first mass, the force applied parallel to the surface to just move the combined body is........ $N.$ 

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

A block of $1\, kg$ is stopped against a wall by applying a force $F$ perpendicular to the wall. If $\mu = 0.2$ then minimum value of $F$ will be ....... $N.$
