Two beads connected by a massless inextensible string are placed over a fixed ring as shown in the figure. The mass of each bead is $m$,and there is no friction between bead $B$ and the ring. Find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction between bead $A$ and the ring so that the system remains in equilibrium. ($C$ is the center of the ring,and the line $AC$ is vertical.)

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: If you push on a cart being pulled by a horse so that it does not move,the cart pushes you back with an equal and opposite force.
Statement $2$: The cart does not move because the forces described in Statement $1$ cancel each other.

$A$ metallic block of mass $20 \ kg$ is dragged with a uniform velocity of $0.5 \ ms^{-1}$ on a horizontal table for $2.1 \ s$. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is $0.10$. What will be the maximum possible rise in temperature of the metal block if the specific heat of the block is $0.1 \ cal \ g^{-1} \ ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? Assume $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and a uniform rise in temperature throughout the whole block. [Ignore absorption of heat by the table]

$A$ disc of mass $100 \,g$ slides down from rest on an inclined plane of $30^{\circ}$ and comes to rest after travelling a distance of $1 \,m$ along the horizontal plane. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$ for both inclined and horizontal planes, then the work done by the frictional force over the whole journey, approximately, is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,J$)

$Assertion$: On a rainy day,it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
$Reason$: The value of the coefficient of friction is lowered due to the wetting of the surface.

$A$ $20 \text{ ton}$ truck is travelling along a curved path of radius $240 \text{ m}$. If the center of gravity of the truck above the ground is $2 \text{ m}$ and the distance between its wheels is $1.5 \text{ m}$, the maximum speed of the truck with which it can travel without toppling over is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$) (in $\text{ ms}^{-1}$)
