Pulling force making an angle $\theta $ to the horizontal is applied on a block of weight $W$ placed on a horizontal table. If the angle of friction is $\alpha $, then the magnitude of force required to move the body is equal to

  • A

    $\frac{{W\sin \alpha }}{{g\tan (\theta - \alpha )}}$

  • B

    $\frac{{W\cos \alpha }}{{\cos (\theta - \alpha )}}$

  • C

    $\frac{{W\sin \alpha }}{{\cos (\theta - \alpha )}}$

  • D

    $\frac{{W\tan \alpha }}{{\sin (\theta - \alpha )}}$

A bullet of mass $20\, g$ travelling horizontally with a speed of $500 \,m/s$ passes  through a wooden block of mass $10.0 \,kg$ initially at rest on a surface. The bullet  emerges with a speed of $100\, m/s$ and the block slides $20 \,cm$ on the surface  before coming to rest, the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$

Calculate the maximum acceleration (in $m s ^{-2}$) of a moving car so that a body lying on the floor of the car remains stationary. The coefficient of static friction between the body and the floor is $0.15$ $\left( g =10 m s ^{-2}\right)$.

A block of mass $2\,kg$ moving on a horizontal surface with speed of $4\,ms ^{-1}$ enters a rough surface ranging from $x =0.5\,m$ to $x =1.5\,m$. The retarding force in this range of rough surface is related to distance by $F =- kx$ where $k =12\,Nm ^{-1}$. The speed of the block as it just crosses the rough surface will be ........... $\,ms ^{-1}$
