A ramp is constructed with a parabolic shape such that the height y at any point on its surface is given in terms of its horizontal distance x from the bottom of the ramp x=y=0 by y=x220. A small block is to be set on the ramp. The maximum height from the bottom level at which the block can be kept on the ramp without sliding is (Given that μs=0.5).

IMPORTANT

Two blocks A and B of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of 45°. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are μA=0.2 and μ˙B=0.3, respectively. At t=0, both the blocks are at rest and block A is 2 m behind block B. The time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in figure. (Use, g=10 m s-2.)

A block of mass m1=1 kg another mass m2=2 kg are placed together (see figure) on an inclined plane with the angle of inclination θ. Various values θ are given in List I. The coefficient of friction between the block m1 and the plane is always zero. The coefficient of static and dynamic friction between the block m2 and the plane is equal toμ=0.3. In Listll, an expression for the friction on block m2 given. Match the correct expression of the friction in List II with the angles given in List 1 and choose the correct option.

Assertion: While drawing a line on a paper, friction force acts on paper in the same direction along which line is drawn on the paper.

Reason: Friction always opposes motion.
