$A$ uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \,kg$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h$ < $l$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough floor. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. Find the ratio $h/l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick. $(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2})$

  • A
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • B
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • C
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{8 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • D
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$

The graph below shows the variation of a force $F$ with time $t$ on a body which is moving in a straight line. The dependence of force on time is $F \propto t^{n}$. Initially,the body is at rest. If the speed of the object is $2 \, m/s$ at $3 \, s$,then the speed at $4 \, s$ will be approximately (in $m/s$):

$A$ ball rests upon a flat piece of paper on a table top. The paper is pulled horizontally but quickly towards the right as shown. Relative to its initial position with respect to the table,the ball:
$(A)$ Remains stationary if there is no friction between the paper and the ball.
$(B)$ Moves to the left and starts rolling backwards,$i.e.$,to the left if there is friction between the paper and the ball.
$(C)$ Moves forward,$i.e.$,in the direction in which the paper is pulled.
