In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu$,and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically. The pulley is frictionless. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    The system will accelerate for any value of $m$.
  • B
    The system will accelerate only when $m > M$.
  • C
    The system will accelerate only when $m > \mu M$.
  • D

$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of $2g,$ where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,a point object of mass $m$ is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction $\mu_{min}$ between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is

An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is $1/3$. If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle $\alpha$ with the vertical,the maximum possible value of $\alpha$ so that the insect does not slip is given by
