In the figure shown, a block of weight $10 \,N$ resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. A force of $3.5\, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of $3 \,N$ is applied to the block, then the block will

  • A

    Move over the surface with constant velocity

  • B

    Move having accelerated motion over the surface

  • C

    Not move

  • D

    First it will move with a constant velocity for some time and then will have accelerated motion

A block of mass $m$ (initially at rest) is sliding up (in vertical direction) against a rough vertical wall with the help of a force $F$ whose magnitude is constant but direction is changing. $\theta  = {\theta _0}t$  where $t$ is time in sec. At $t$ = $0$ , the force is in vertical upward direction and then as time passes its direction is getting along normal, i.e., $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ .The value of $F$ so that the block comes to rest when $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ , is

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
