A block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta>\mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $\mathrm{P}$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $\mathrm{P}$ is varied from $\mathrm{P}_1=$ $m g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2=m g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$, the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like

A block of mass $5\, kg$ is kept on a rough horizontal floor. It is given a velocity $33\, m/s$ towards right. A force of $20\sqrt {2\,} \,N$ continuously acts on the block as shown in the figure. If the coefficient of friction between block and floor is $0.5$ the velocity of block after $3\, seconds$ is ........ $m/s$  ($g = 10\, m/s^2$)

A $\vec F\,\, = \,\,\hat i\, + \,4\hat j\,$ acts on block shown. The force of friction acting on the block is :

A man pulls a block heavier than himself with a light horizontal rope. The coefficient of friction is the same between the man and the ground, and between the block and the ground

A $20\, kg$ block is initially at rest on a rough horizontal surface. A horizontal force of $75 \,N$ is required to set the block in motion. After it is in motion, a horizontal force of $60\, N$ is required to keep the block moving with constant speed. The coefficient of static friction is
