$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a wedge of angle $\theta$. The wedge is moving with a constant velocity $v$ on a horizontal surface. If the block does not slide on the wedge,find the work done by the friction force on the block in time $t$.

$STATEMENT-1$: $A$ block of mass $m$ starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity $v$. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity $v$. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. because
$STATEMENT-2$: The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface decreases with the increase in the angle of inclination.

$A$ block of mass $m$ is placed on a surface with a vertical cross-section given by $y = \frac{x^3}{6}$. If the coefficient of friction is $0.5$,the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is:

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of equal masses are sliding down along straight parallel lines on an inclined plane of $45^{\circ}$. Their coefficients of kinetic friction are $\mu_A = 0.2$ and $\mu_B = 0.3$ respectively. At $t = 0$,both the blocks are at rest and block $A$ is $\sqrt{2} \text{ m}$ behind block $B$. Calculate the time and distance from the initial position where the front faces of the blocks come in line on the inclined plane as shown in the figure. (Use $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

$A$ block of mass $5 \text{ kg}$ is placed on a rough inclined surface as shown in the figure. If $\vec{F}_1$ is the force required to just move the block up the inclined plane and $\vec{F}_2$ is the force required to just prevent the block from sliding down,then the value of $|\vec{F}_1|-|\vec{F}_2|$ is: [Use $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$]

$Assertion$ : Angle of repose is equal to the angle of limiting friction.
$Reason$ : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called limiting friction.
