A body is projected up along a rough inclined plane from the bottom with some velocity. It travels up the incline and then returns. If the time of ascent is and time of descent is , then


Important Questions on Friction

Starting from rest, a flat car is given a constant acceleration . A cable is connected to a crate of mass as shown. Neglect the friction between floor and car wheels and mass of pulley. The coefficient of friction between crate & floor of the car is . The tension in the cable is –


A block of mass lying on a rough horizontal plane is acted upon by a horizontal force and another force inclined at an angle to the vertical. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface for which the block will remain in equilibrium is:

A plank is held at an angle to the horizontal (figure) on two fixed supports and . The plank can slide against the supports (without friction) because of its weight . With what acceleration and in which direction, a man of mass should move so that the plank does not move.

A box is initially at rest on a horizontal surface when at a horizontal force (with in seconds) is applied to the box. The acceleration of the box as a function of time is given by:
for
for
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is:

In the given figure the coefficient of friction between and blocks is and between block and ground is . Choose the correct statements.

Given . Between and friction coefficient , between and friction coefficient and between and ground . The least horizontal force to start the motion of any part of the system of three blocks resting upon one another as shown in the figure is
