The masses of blocks $A$ and $B$ are $100 \, kg$ and $200 \, kg$ respectively. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.2$,and the coefficient of friction between $B$ and the ground is $0.3$. What force $F$ (in $N$) must be applied to block $B$ to make it move?

Given $m_1 = 4m_2$. The acceleration of $m_1$ is $a$. Find the velocity of $m_2$ at $t = 0.4 \, s$ in $cm/s$.

Place a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at $0.00 \ cm$ and the right one at $90.00 \ cm$. When you attempt to move both fingers slowly towards the center,initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After some distance,the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a distance $x_R$ from the center $(50.00 \ cm)$ of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are $0.40$ and $0.32$,respectively,the value of $x_R$ (in $cm$) is:

For the given system,which of the following relations holds between $T_1$,$T_2$,and $T_3$?

$A$ bullet of mass $0.1\, kg$ is fired into a wooden block to pierce through it,but it stops after moving a distance of $50\, cm$ into it. If the velocity of the bullet before hitting the wood is $10\, m/s$ and it slows down with uniform deceleration,then the magnitude of the effective retarding force on the bullet is $'x'\, N$. The value of $'x'$ to the nearest integer is:
