A man can just push a box on 37° slope. When he keeps it at the point where the angle increases to 53°, he can just hold it from sliding back. If the coefficient of function between the box and the slope is μ, find 1/μ Assume that the man is applying same magnitude of force along the tangent to the curve only.

A man of mass 75 kg is pushing a heavy box on a flat floor. The coefficient of kinetic and static friction between the floor and the box is 0.20, and the coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the floor is 0.80. If the man pushes horizontally (see figure), what is the maximum mass (in × kg) of the box he can move?

A block of 7 kg is placed on a rough horizontal surface and is pulled through a variable force F (in N)=5t, where t is time in second, at an angle of 37° with the horizontal as shown in figure. The coefficient of static friction of the block with the surface is one. If the force starts acting at t=0 s, if the time (in sec) at which the block starts to slide is found to be 10n. Find.

A block of mass m1=4 kg is placed on a wedge of an angle θ=45°, as shown. The block is moving over the inclined surface of the wedge of mass m2=5 kg. The friction coefficient between the block and the wedge is μ1=12, whereas it is μ2 between the wedge and the horizontal surface. If the minimum value of μ2, so that the wedge remains stationary on the surface is found to be 1n. Find the value of n. Take, g=10 m s-2.

Two wedges, each of mass m, are placed next to each other on a flat horizontal floor. A cube of mass M is balanced on the wedges as shown in the figure. Assume no friction between the cube and the wedges, but a coefficient of static friction μ=13 between the wedges and the floor. What is the largest ratio of Mm, so that the system can be balanced without the motion of the wedges?

The three flat blocks in the figure are positioned on the 37° incline and a force parallel to the inclined plane is applied to the middle block. The upper block is prevented from moving by a wire which attaches it to the fixed support. The masses of three blocks in kg and coefficient of static friction for each of the three pairs of contact surfaces are shown in the figure. If the maximum value which force P may have before slipping takes place anywhere is found to be 4x N. Find the value of x.
