Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of $45^{\circ}$. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are $\mu_A = 0.2$ and $\mu_B = 0.3$ respectively. At $t = 0$,both the blocks are at rest and block $A$ is $\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$ behind block $B$. Calculate the time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in the figure. (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

  • A
    $2 \text{ s}, 8\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ s}, 7 \text{ m}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2} \text{ s}, 7\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $2 \text{ s}, \frac{7}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}$

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:

Consider a uniform cubical box of side $a$ on a rough floor that is to be moved by applying a minimum possible force $F$ at a point $b$ above its centre of mass (see figure). If the coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.4$,the maximum possible value of $100 \times \frac{b}{a}$ for a box not to topple before moving is

$A$ block of mass $5 \, kg$ is placed on a rough inclined plane with an angle of $30^\circ$. If the block moves down with a constant velocity,what is the coefficient of friction? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

When the angle of inclination of an inclined plane is $\theta$,an object slides down with uniform velocity. If the same object is pushed up with an initial velocity $u$ on the same inclined plane,it goes up the plane and stops at a certain distance on the plane. Thereafter,the body:
