In the figure,two blocks are connected by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400 \, N$,block $B$ weighs $300 \, N$,and the strut $AB$ weighs $200 \, N$. If $\mu = 0.25$ under block $B$,determine the minimum coefficient of friction under block $A$ to prevent motion.

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D
    $0.1$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is acted upon by a force $F$ given by the empirical law $F = \frac{R}{t^2} v(t)$. If this law is to be tested experimentally by observing the motion starting from rest,the best way is to plot:

$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?

The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $100 \, kg$ and $200 \, kg$ respectively. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$,and the coefficient of friction between $B$ and the ground is $0.3$. What force $F$ (in $N$) must be applied to block $B$ to make it move?

$A$ $1\; kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of spring constant $100\; N m^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10\; cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the incline. Assume that the spring has a negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

Two observers are moving at a constant velocity $v$ relative to each other along a straight line. They observe a block of mass $m$ moving over a distance $l$ on a rough surface. Which of the following quantities will be the same for both observers?
