A bullet of mass $20\, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \,m/s$ passes  through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \,kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet  emerges with a speed of $100\, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \,cm$ on the surface  before coming to rest, the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

In the diagram, $BAC$ is a rigid fixed rough wire and angle $BAC$ is $60^o$. $P$ and $Q$ are two identical rings of mass $m$ connected by a light elastic string of natural length $2a$ and elastic constant $\frac{mg}{a}$. If $P$ and $Q$ are in equilibrium when $PA = AQ = 3a$ then the least coefficient of friction between the ring and the wire is $\mu$. Then value of $\mu + \sqrt 3 $ is :-

$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.
