Two fixed frictionless inclined planes making an angle $30^\circ$ and $60^\circ$ with the vertical are shown in the figure. Two blocks $A$ and $B$ are placed on the two planes. What is the relative vertical acceleration of $A$ with respect to $B$?

  • A
    $4.9 \ m/s^2$ in horizontal direction
  • B
    $4.9 \ m/s^2$ in vertical direction
  • C
    $9.8 \ m/s^2$ in vertical direction
  • D
    Zero

$A$ 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]

What is the value of the contact force $R$ on an object of mass $m$ placed on an inclined plane with angle $\theta$?

$A$ truck of mass $2800 \ kg$ is moving at a speed of $15 \ m/s$. $A$ frictional force of $500 \ N$ and a forward force of $1200 \ N$ act on it. The distance covered by the truck in $10 \ s$ is .......... $m$.

$A$ 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:

$A$ bird is sitting in a large closed cage which is placed on a spring balance. It records a weight of $25 \, N$. The bird (mass $m = 0.5 \, kg$) flies upward in the cage with an acceleration of $2 \, m/s^2$. The spring balance will now record a weight of ........ $N$.
