Important Questions on Force and Laws of Motion





A maximum of force can be applied on a block, down the incline, that would still not move the block which is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is . The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is


What is the maximum force that can be applied on block so that both will move together? There is no friction between and the horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between and is

A boy throws a cricket ball from the boundary to the wicket keeper. If the frictional force due to air cannot be ignored, the forces acting on the ball at the position are represented by

A mass is hung on a rope tied between two poles as shown in the figure. The tension and in the two parts of the rope are (in )


Two masses connected in series with two massless strings are hanging from a support as shown in the figure. Find the tension in the upper string


Two blocks and are placed one over the other on a smooth horizontal surface. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied on lower block , so that and move without separation is . The coefficient of friction between and is



As shown in the figure, an iron block of volume is attached to a spring of unstretched length and hanging to the ceiling of a roof. The spring gets stretched by . This block is removed and another block of iron of volume is now attached to the same spring and kept on a frictionless incline plane of inclination. The distance of the block from the top along the incline at equilibrium is

A rectangular frame of some mass has to be suspended symmetrically by two mass-less strings of equal length on two supports. It can be done in one of the three following ways as shown in below figures. The tension in the strings will be


The length of a metal wire is when the tension in it is and is when the tension is The natural length of the wire is:
