easy

A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $M$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu $, if the lift is moving upwards with a uniform velocity, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is

A

$Mg$

B

$\mu Mg$

C

$2\mu Mg$

D

Zero

Solution

(b) When the lift is moving upward with constant velocity then, $R = mg$ $\therefore $ $F = \mu \;R = \mu \;mg$

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 :-
