$A$ cone of radius $r$ and height $h$ rests on a rough horizontal surface,the coefficient of friction between the cone and the surface being $\mu$. $A$ gradually increasing horizontal force $F$ is applied to the vertex of the cone. The largest value of $\mu$ for which the cone will slide before it topples is

  • A
    $\mu = \frac{r}{2h}$
  • B
    $\mu = \frac{2r}{5h}$
  • C
    $\mu = \frac{r}{h}$
  • D
    $\mu = \sqrt{\frac{r}{h}}$

$A$ block starts moving up an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ with an initial velocity of $v_{0}$. It comes back to its initial position with velocity $\frac{v_{0}}{2}$. The value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the inclined plane is close to $\frac{I}{1000}$. The nearest integer to $I$ is......

$A$ block of mass $m$ is stationary on a rough plane of mass $M$ inclined at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal,while the whole setup is accelerating upwards at an acceleration $a$. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$,then the force that the plane exerts on the block is

$A$ block is placed on a parabolic shape ramp given by the equation $y = \frac{x^2}{20}$. If the coefficient of static friction $\mu_s$ is $0.5$, then what is the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping (in $m$)?

To determine the coefficient of friction between a rough surface and a block, the surface is kept inclined at $45^{\circ}$ and the block is released from rest. The block takes a time $t$ in moving a distance $d$. The rough surface is then replaced by a smooth surface and the same experiment is repeated. The block now takes a time $t/2$ in moving down the same distance $d$. The coefficient of friction is

$A$ block of mass $2 \, kg$ rests on a plane inclined at an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.7$. The frictional force acting on the block is . . . . . . $N$.
