$A$ horizontal force $F = mg/3$ is applied on the upper surface of a uniform cube of mass $m$ and side $a$,which is resting on a rough horizontal surface having $\mu_S = 1/2$. The distance between the lines of action of $mg$ and the normal reaction $N$ is:

  • A
    $a/2$
  • B
    $a/3$
  • C
    $a/4$
  • D

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1$: If you push on a cart being pulled by a horse so that it does not move,the cart pushes you back with an equal and opposite force.
Statement $2$: The cart does not move because the forces described in Statement $1$ cancel each other.

Two carts of masses $200 \, kg$ and $300 \, kg$ on horizontal rails are pushed apart. Suppose the coefficient of friction between the carts and the rails is the same. If the $200 \, kg$ cart travels a distance of $36 \, m$ and stops,then the distance travelled by the cart weighing $300 \, kg$ is ........ $m$.

In the figure,two blocks are connected by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400 \, N$,block $B$ weighs $300 \, N$,and the strut $AB$ weighs $200 \, N$. If $\mu = 0.25$ under block $B$,determine the minimum coefficient of friction under block $A$ to prevent motion.

$A$ rough inclined plane $BCE$ of height $\left(\frac{25}{6}\right) \text{ m}$ is kept on a rectangular wooden block $ABCD$ of height $10 \text{ m}$,as shown in the figure. $A$ small block is allowed to slide down from the top $E$ of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is $\frac{1}{8}$ and the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is $\sin^{-1}(0.6)$. If the small block finally reaches the ground at a point $F$,then $DF$ will be (Acceleration due to gravity,$g=10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

$A$ block $B$ is placed on block $A$. The mass of block $B$ is less than the mass of block $A$. Friction exists between the blocks,whereas the ground on which the block $A$ is placed is taken to be smooth. $A$ horizontal force $F$,increasing linearly with time,begins to act on $B$. The acceleration $a_A$ and $a_B$ of blocks $A$ and $B$ respectively are plotted against $t$. The correctly plotted graph is
