A small mass slides down an inclined plane of inclination θ with the horizontal. The co-efficient of friction is μ=μ0x, where x is the distance through which the mass slides down and μ0 is a constant. Then find
(a) maximum speed of particle,
(b) how much distance it will cover to get that maximum speed

In the arrangement shown in figure, the mass of the rod M exceeds the mass m of the ball. The ball has an opening permitting it to slide along the thread with some friction. The mass of the pulley, mass of the string and the friction in its axle are negligible. At the initial moment, the ball was located opposite the lower end of the rod. When set free, both bodies began moving with constant accelerations. Find the friction force between the ball and the thread if t seconds after the beginning of motion the ball got opposite the upper end of the rod. The rod length equals l.

The three flat blocks as shown in the figure are positioned on the 37° incline and a force P 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. Determine the maximum value which force P may have before slipping take place anywhere (g=10 m s-2).

A plank of mass m1 with a bar of mass m2 placed on it lies on a smooth horizontal plane. A horizontal force growing with time t as F=at (a is constant) is applied to the bar. Find how the accelerations of the plank w1 and of the bar w2 depend on t, if the coefficient of friction between the plank and the bar is equal to k. Draw the approximate plots of these dependencies.

A cart of total mass M0 is at rest on a rough horizontal road. It ejects bullets at rate of λ kg s-1 at an angle θ with the horizontal and at velocity u (constant) relative to the cart. The coefficient of friction between the cart and the ground is μ. Find the velocity of the cart in terms of time t. The cart moves with sliding.

A ring of mass m can slide along a fixed rough vertical rod as shown in the figure. The ring is connected by a spring of spring constant k=4mgR where 2R is the natural length of spring. The other end of the spring is fixed to the ground at a point A at a horizontal distance of 2R from the base of the rod. If the ring is released from a height of 3R/2 and it reaches the ground with a speed 3gR, find a co-efficient of friction between the rod and ring.
