Statement $I :$ $A$ cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of $7 \, km/h$ and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of radius $2 \, m$ without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is $0.2$. The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$.
Statement $II :$ If the road is banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$,the cyclist can cross the curve of $2 \, m$ radius with a speed of $18.5 \, km/h$ without slipping.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is incorrect and statement $II$ is correct.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is correct and statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • C
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false.
  • D
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are true.

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?

$A$ small block of mass $0.1 \ kg$ lies on a fixed inclined plane $PQ$ which makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. $A$ horizontal force of $1 \ N$ acts on the block through its center of mass as shown in the figure. The block remains stationary if (take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$):

$A$ block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta > \mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $P$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $P$ is varied from $P_1 = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2 = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$,the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like:

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are connected by an ideal spring on a rough surface. The spring is unstretched. The spring constant is $8 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.8$. Now,the $2 \ kg$ block is imparted a velocity $u$ towards the $1 \ kg$ block. Find the maximum value of velocity $u$ of the $2 \ kg$ block such that the $1 \ kg$ block never moves.

$A$ block of mass $5\, kg$ is $(i)$ pushed in case $(A)$ and $(ii)$ pulled in case $(B)$,by a force $F = 20\, N$,making an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal,as shown in the figures. The coefficient of friction between the block and floor is $\mu = 0.2$. The difference between the accelerations of the block,in case $(B)$ and case $(A)$ will be ........ $ms^{-2}$ .$(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$
