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  μ_k. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised about the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches 30°, 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 will be. respectively

A system consists of three masses m₁, m₂ and m₃ connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass $m_1$ 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)

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

A car of mass 1000 kg negotiates a banked curve of radius 90m on a frictionless road. If the banking angle is $45°$,the speed of the car is

A car of mass \(m\) is moving on a level circular track of radius \(R\). If \(\mu_s\) represent the static friction between the road and tyres of the car, then the maximum speed of the car in circular motion is given by:
