The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination is perfectly smooth while 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
Get Answer
A horizontal force of is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.2 . The weight of the block is
For the block to remain stationary with the wall
A block is pushed momentarily along a horizontal surface with an initial velocity . If is the coefficient of sliding friction between B and the surface, block B will come to rest after a time
Friction is the retarding force for the block
Therefore, from the first equation of motion
A body of mass is placed on a horizontal surface having kinetic friction 0.4 and static friction 0.5 . If the force applied on the body is , then the frictional force acting on the body will be
Limiting friction
The applied force is less than force of friction, therefore the force of friction is equal to the applied force.
A mass is placed on a rough horizontal plane, coefficient of friction between then is M. Another mass hung from the string connected by frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Then
At limiting condition
A block rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.8 . If the frictional force on the block is , the mass of the block (in ) is (take )

for body to be at rest
The minimum force required to start pushing a body up rough (frictional coefficient ) inclined plane is while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is . If the inclined plane makes an angle from the horizontal such that then the ratio is

A body starts from rest on a long inclined plane of slope . The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane varies as , where is distance travelled down the plane. The body will have maximum speed (for ) when
When the body has maximum speed then
A force acts horizontally on a block of placed on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction . If the acceleration due to gravity is taken as , the acceleration of the block (in ) is

A block of mass is held against a wall applying a horizontal force of on the block. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.5 , the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is:
The magnitude of the frictional force f has to balance the weight acting downwards.
Therefore the frictional force
