A block is pressed with a minimum force against a rough vertical wall so that the block does not fall. If coefficient of static friction between the wall the block is Find the minimum force (in Newton)


Important Questions on Friction
Value of is increased gradually from At both the blocks just start slipping. Than value of is:

A block of mass is given a push for a moment horizontally and then the block starts sliding over a horizontal plane. The graph shows the velocity-time graph of the motion. The co-efficient of sliding friction between the plane and the block is:

Four blocks are arranged on a smooth fixed horizontal surface as shown. The masses of upper blocks are and lower blocks are as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between upper and lower blocks is Both the upper blocks are connected by inextensible light string having initial zero tension. For all four blocks to move with the same acceleration, the maximum value of horizontal force applied to right bottom block (as shown) is

Consider the following statements:
Static friction may do positive work on an object.
It may be possible that, on a body, kinetic friction act in the direction of motion of the body
A lift going down with retardation increases the weight of an object measured by a spring balance
The correct order of True/False of the above statements is:

A block is placed on a rough horizontal plane attached with an elastic spring as shown in figure.
Initially spring is unstretched. If the plane is now slowly lifted from to then the graph showing extension in the spring versus angle is

A block of mass m rests on a rough horrizontal surface, having friction co-efficient A force is applied on the block at an angle to the horizontal. What should be the minimum value of so that the block starts sliding ?

For the arrangement shown in figure a force is applied on block in horizontal direction as shown in figure so that it's acceleration is What is the acceleration of block with respect to block . (Friction coefficient is at all surfaces and take

A small block is projected up from the bottom of a fixed incline, inclined at from the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between the block the incline is . If the ratio of descending time to ascending time is then the value of
