A block of mass $M$ is held against a rough vertical well by pressing it with a finger. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is $\mu $ and acceleration due to gravity is $g$, calculate the minimum force required to be applied by the finger to hold the block against the wall.

A uniform rope lies on a horizontal table so that a part of it hangs over the edge. The rope begins to slide down when the length of the hanging part is $25\%$ of the entire length. The coefficient of friction between the rope and the table is

A block of mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. A steadily increasing horizontal force is applied such that the block starts to slide on the table without toppling. The force is continued even after sliding has started. Assume the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the table and the block to be equal. The correct representation of the variation of the frictional force $f$, exerted by the table on the block with time $t$ is given by

A block of mass $5\, kg$ is kept on a rough horizontal floor. It is given a velocity $33\, m/s$ towards right. A force of $20\sqrt {2\,} \,N$ continuously acts on the block as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction between block and floor is $0.5$ the velocity of block after $3\, seconds$ is ........ $m/s$  ($g = 10\, m/s^2$)

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ are released from the top of a rough inclined plane so that $A$ slides along the plane and $B$ falls down freely. Which will have higher velocity on reaching the ground ?
