$A$ $2 \, kg$ mass starts from rest on a smooth inclined surface with an inclination of $30^\circ$ and a length of $2 \, m$. What distance $S$ (in meters) will it travel before coming to rest on a rough horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of $0.25$?

$Assertion$: Use of ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice.
$Reason$: Ball bearings reduce vibrations and provide good stability.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ $A$ necessary condition for equilibrium is that the acceleration must be zero.
$(b)$ Centripetal force is always in the opposite direction of centrifugal force.
$(c)$ $A$ man is at rest on a perfectly smooth ice surface in the middle of a pond. He can reach the shore by using Newton's first law.
$(d)$ An object is in equilibrium only if it is at rest.

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 $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer given below:
$(A)$ $A$ body initially at rest is acted upon by a constant force. The rate of change of its kinetic energy varies linearly with time.
$(B)$ When a body is at rest, it must be in equilibrium.

If $M_2 = 2M_1$ and $\theta = 30^\circ$,the acceleration of $M_2$ is $a$. If the positions of the blocks are interchanged,what will be the acceleration of $M_2$?
