How do static friction oppose motion ? Value of coefficient of friction depend on which factors ?
A wooden block of mass $M$ resting on a rough horizontal surface is pulled with a force $F$ at an angle $\phi $ with the horizontal. If $\mu $ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface, then acceleration of the block is
As shown in the figure, a block of mass $\sqrt{3}\, kg$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction $\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with horizontal such that it does not move, will be $3 x$. The value of $3x$ will be
$\left[ g =10 m / s ^{2} ; \sin 60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ; \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right]$
A force $f$ is acting on a block of mass $m$. Coefficient of friction between block and surface is $\mu$. The block can be pulled along the surface if :-
Two beads connected by massless inextensible string are placed over the fixed ring as shown in figure. Mass of each bead is $m$ , and there is no friction between $B$ and ring. Find minimum value of coefficient of friction between $A$ and ring so that system remains in equilibrium. ( $C \to $center of ring, $AC$ line is vertical)
$Assertion$ : On a rainy day it is difficult to drive a car or bus at high speed.
$Reason$ : The value of coefficient of friction is lowered due to wetting of the surface
