Abody is placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ .As the angle $\theta$ is increased from $0^o$ to $90^o$ the contact force between the block and the plane
remains constant
first remains constant than decreases
first decreases then increases
first increases then decreases
The limiting value of static friction between two contact surfaces is ...........
A rectangular block has a square base measuring $a \times a$ and its height is $h$. It moves on a horizontal surface in a direction perpendicular to one of the edges. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. It will topple if
A girl holds a book of mass $m$ against a vertical wall with a horizontal force $F$ using her finger, so that the book does not move. The frictional force on the book by the wall is
$A$ block $P$ of mass m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block Q of same mass is kept on $P$ and connected to the wall with the help of a spring of spring constant k as shown in the figure. ${\mu _s}$ is the coefficient of friction between$ P$ and $ Q$. The blocks move together performing SHM of amplitude $A$. The maximum value of the friction force between $P$ and $Q$ is
A block weighs $W$ is held against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force $F$. The minimum value of $F$ needed to hold the block is
