Two forces are acting in a mutually perpendicular direction at a point. If the magnitude of both forces is equal i.e. . Find the resultant force acting at that point.
Important Questions on Statics
Two blocks and pushed against a wall with a force . The surfaces of and are rough and the wall is smooth. Which of the following statements is true?



A mass is suspended with the use of strings and as shown in fig. W is a vertical wall and is a rigid horizontal rod. The tension in the string is:

Two masses and of and are connected with a string passing over a frictionless pulley fixed at the corner of a table, (as shown in Fig.) The coefficient of friction between the table and block is . The minimum mass of , that may be placed on to prevent it from moving is



A block of mass is in contact with the cart as shown 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:






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

Block of mass and block of mass are placed on a fixed triangular wedge by means of a massless, inextensible string and a frictionless pulley as shown in. The wedge is inclined at to the horizontal on both the sides. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wedge is and that between the block and the wedge is and both the blocks and are released from rest, the acceleration of will be:



A pulley and strings shown in are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle should be:



A flexible chain of weight W hangs between two fixed points and which are at the same horizontal level. The inclination of the chain with the horizontal at both the point supports is . What is the tension in the chain at the midpoint?

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



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:
