Important Questions on Friction
A block of mass is in contact with the cart , as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is . The acceleration of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies

Consider the situation shown in the figure. The wall is smooth but the surfaces of and , in contact, are rough. The friction on to , in equilibrium,


A block of mass , lying on a rough horizontal plane, is acted upon by a horizontal force and another force , inclined at an angle to the vertical. The block will remain in equilibrium, if the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is


What is the maximum value of force such that, the block, shown in the arrangement, does not move?

The system shown in the figure is in equilibrium. The maximum value of so that, the maximum value of static frictional force on body is , will be

A horizontal force of is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is . The weight of the block is
