A heavy uniform chain lies on a horizontal table. If the coefficient of friction between the chain and the table is then the maximum fraction of the length of the chain that can hang over one edge of the table is


Important Questions on Friction in Solids and Liquids
A block with mass is resting on another block of mass . As shown in figure, a horizontal rope tied to a wall holds it. The coefficient of friction between and is while the coefficient of friction between and the ground is . The minimum required force to start moving will be,

A block of mass is kept on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is . If a force of is applied on the block as shown in the figure, the frictional force between the block and the floor will be,

Given in the figure are two blocks and of weights and , respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is and between block and the wall is , the frictional force applied by the wall on block is,

A block of mass is lying on a horizontal surface of coefficient of friction . A force is applied to the block at an angle with the horizontal. The block will move with a minimum force if,



A block of mass is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is . When a force is applied, the acceleration of the block will be ,

A body of mass is moving on a rough horizontal plane. A block of mass is connected to the mass by a string of negligible mass through a smooth pulley as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is . The coefficient of kinetic friction between the heavier mass and the surface is,
