Sand is to be piled up on a horizontal ground in the form of a regular cone of a fixed base of radius $R$. The coefficient of static friction between the sand layers is $\mu$. The maximum volume of the sand that can be piled up in the form of a cone without slipping on the ground is

  • A
    $\frac{\mu R^3}{3 \pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu R^3}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi R^3}{3 \mu}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu \pi R^3}{3}$

$A$ car of weight $W$ is on an inclined road that rises by $100 \, m$ over a distance of $1 \, km$ and applies a constant frictional force $\frac{W}{20}$ on the car. While moving uphill on the road at a speed of $10 \, m/s$,the car needs power $P$. If it needs power $\frac{P}{2}$ while moving downhill at speed $v$,then the value of $v$ is ........ $m/s$.

Two inclined planes are placed as shown in the figure. $A$ block is projected from point $A$ of the inclined plane $AB$ along its surface with a velocity just sufficient to carry it to the top point $B$ at a height of $10 \ m$. After reaching point $B$, the block slides down the inclined plane $BC$. The time it takes to reach point $C$ from point $A$ is $t(\sqrt{2}+1) \ s$. The value of $t$ is........ (use $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

$STATEMENT-1$: $A$ block of mass $m$ starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity $v$. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity $v$. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. because
$STATEMENT-2$: The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.

$A$ block of mass $5 \text{ kg}$ is placed on a rough inclined surface as shown in the figure. If $\vec{F}_1$ is the force required to just move the block up the inclined plane and $\vec{F}_2$ is the force required to just prevent the block from sliding down,then the value of $|\vec{F}_1|-|\vec{F}_2|$ is: [Use $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$]

The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top comes back to rest at the bottom. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ for the lower half is given by:
