A board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between the log and the board is

A body of mass $\mathrm{m}$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction $=\mu$ ) A horizontal force is applied on the body, but it does not move. The resultant of normal reaction and the frictional force acting on the object is given by $\mathrm{F},$ where $\mathrm{F}$ is

A $1.0 kg$ block of wood sits on top of an identical block of wood, which sits on top of a flat level table made of plastic. The coefficient of static friction between the wood surfaces is $\mu_1$, and the coefficient of static friction between the wood and plastic is $\mu_2$. Ahorizontal force $F$ is applied to the top block only, and this force is increased until the top block starts to move. The bottom block will move with the top block if and only if

A conveyor belt is moving at a constant speed of $2\, ms^{-1}$. A box is gently dropped on it. The coefficient of friction between them is $\mu  = 0.5$. The distance that the box will move relative to belt before coming to rest on it, (taking $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$) is  ........  $m$.

What is friction ? Explain static frictional force.

A rope of length $L$ and mass $M$ is being pulled on a rough horizontal floor by a constant horizontal force $F$ = $Mg$ . The force is acting at one end of the rope in the same direction as the length of the rope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between rope and floor is $1/2$ . Then, the tension at the midpoint of the rope is
