A block A of mass m1 rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of table and from its other end another block B of mass m2 is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is
1. (m2+μkm1)g /(m1+m2)
2. (m2-μkm1)g/(m1+m2)
3. m1m2(1+μk)g/(m1+m2)
4. m1m2(1-μk)g/(m1+m2)
A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised at the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches \(30^{\circ}\), the box starts to slip and slides \(4.0\) m down the plank in \(4.0\) s. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank, respectively, will be:
1. | \(0.6\) and \(0.6\) | 2. | \(0.6\) and \(0.5\) |
3. | \(0.5\) and \(0.6\) | 4. | \(0.4\) and \(0.3\) |
A system consists of three masses m1,m2 and m3 connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass hangs freely and m2 and m3 are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction=μ) The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass m1, is (Assume,m1=m2=m3=m)
1. g(1-gμ)/9
2. 2gμ/3
3. g(1-2μ)/3
4. g(1-2μ)/2
Three blocks with masses m, 2m and 3m are connected by strings, as shown in the figure. After an upward force F is applied on block m, the masses move upward at constant speed v. What is the net force on the block of mass 2m? (g is the acceleration due to gravity)
1. Zero
2. 2mg
3. 3mg
4. 6mg
The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination θ is perfectly smooth while the lower half is rough. A block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction between the block and lower half of the plane is given by
