A body, resting on a rough horizontal plane required a pull of 181N inclined at 30o to the plane just to move it. It was recorded that a push of 220N inclined at 30o to the plane just moved the body. Estimate the co-efficient of friction.

An inclined plane is bent in such a way that the vertical cross-section is given by y=x24, where y is in vertical and x in horizontal direction. If the upper surface of this curved plane is rough with coefficient of friction μ=0.5, the maximum height in cm at which a stationary block will not slip downward is________cm.

An archer stretches her bow while taking aim at the target. She then releases the arrow, which begins to move towards the target. Based on this information fill up the gaps in the following statements using the following terms.
muscular, contact, non-contact, gravity, friction, shape, attraction 

The type of force responsible for a change in the state of motion of the arrow is an example of a _____ force.

MEDIUM
Assertion: A lighter and a heavier bodies moving with same moment and experiencing same retarding force have equal stopping times.

Reason: For a given force and momentum, stopping time is independent of mass.
