Important Questions on Equilibrium of a Particle
A block of mass is placed on a smooth wedge of inclination . The whole system is accelerated horizontally so that the block does not slip on the wedge. The force exerted by the wedge on the block ( is acceleration due to gravity) will be

Two cubes of masses and be on two frictionless slopes of block A which rests on a horizontal table. The cubes are connected by a string which passes over a pulley as shown in the figure. To what horizontal acceleration f should the whole system (that is the blocks and cubes) be subjected so that the cubes do not slide down the planes? What is the tension of the string in this situation?

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 :-

If a charge is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges each such that the entire system is in equilibrium, then the value of is:

The mass moves in a circular arc of angular amplitude . The minimum coefficient of friction between and surface of table to prevent slipping is,

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:-

For next two question please follow the same
