Two rods and are attached to a weight of mass as shown in figure, then:

If resultant of these three forces is along -axis, then is equal to:

A force making an angle of with positive -axis has a component of along -axis. Write the force in vector form

A box slides down a vertical wall with constant speed while a person pushes it up at an angle of with the vertical. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is then the magnitude of the force applied by the person is close to

The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle should be :-

A man of mass stands on a frame of mass . He pulls on a light rope which passes over a pulley. The other end of the rope is attached to the frame. For the system to be in equilibrium what force man must exert on the rope?

A body of mass is acted upon by two perpendicular forces and The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the body respectively are:

A force is inclined at to the horizontal. If its component in the horizontal direction is then magnitude of the vertical component of force is approximately:

The forces, which meet at one point but their lines of action do not lie in one plane, are called:-
