The block has mass and rests on a surface for which the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are and respectively. A force is applied to the cable. Velocity of block at is . Then value of is Given:



Important Questions on Friction


A plank with a uniform sphere placed on it, rests on a smooth horizontal plane. Plank is pulled to right by a constant force . If the sphere does not slip over the plank then

The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the two blocks and also between the lower block and the ground are and . Find the value of tension applied on the lower block at which the upper block begins to slip relative to lower block.

The member rotates in vertical plane about a horizontal axis through with a constant counter clockwise velocity . As it passes the position , a small mass is placed upon it at a radial distance . If the mass is observed to slip at , find the coefficient of friction between the mass & the member.
