Consider on a rough horizontal surface a block is kept. A horizontal force just strong enough to move the block is acting on it, the force is maintained for 2 seconds and then removed. The total distance moved by the box is 'S' meters. What is the value of '6S'?μs=0.2, μk=0.15, g=10 m s-2

A plank is rotating in a vertical plane about one of its fixed end A with a constant angular velocity ω=2 rad s-1. A block of mass m=2 kg is placed at a distance l=1 m from end A (see figure) which is hinged. The block starts sliding down when the plank makes an angle θ=30° with the horizontal. If coefficient of friction between the plank and the block is μ and given that μ2=k25. Find the value of k.

A block A (5 kg) rests over another block B (3 kg) placed over a smooth horizontal surface. There is friction between A and B. A horizontal force F1, gradually increasing from zero to a maximum, is applied to A, so that the blocks move together without relative motion. Instead of this, another horizontal force F2, gradually increasing from zero to a maximum, is applied to B, so that the blocks move together without relative motion. Then,
