$A$ block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta > \mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $P$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $P$ is varied from $P_1 = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2 = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$,the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like:

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C
    Option C
  • D
    Option D

The maximum velocity $v$ that can be given to the block so that it travels only in one direction is . . . . . . $\text{ms}^{-1}$. (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

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 ............ $m/s^2$.
