$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?

  • A
    $\mu > \frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\mu > \frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\mu > \frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    None of these

Five persons $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are pulling a cart of mass $100 \, kg$ on a smooth surface and the cart is moving with an acceleration of $3 \, m/s^2$ in the east direction. When person $A$ stops pulling,it moves with an acceleration of $1 \, m/s^2$ in the west direction. When person $B$ stops pulling,it moves with an acceleration of $24 \, m/s^2$ in the north direction. The magnitude of the acceleration of the cart when only $A$ and $B$ pull the cart,keeping their directions the same as the original directions,is ............ $m/s^2$.

$Assertion$: Two bodies of masses $M$ and $m$ $(M > m)$ are allowed to fall from the same height. If the air resistance for each is the same,then both bodies will reach the Earth simultaneously.
$Reason$: For the same air resistance,the acceleration of both bodies will be the same.

$A$ string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass $m$ supports a block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by

Shown in the diagram is a system of two bodies,a block of mass $m$ and a disc of mass $4m$,held in equilibrium. If the string $3$ is burnt,find the acceleration of the disc. Neglect the masses of the pulleys $P$ and $Q$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is $0.5$ and the friction between the disc and the string is zero. (Take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
