$A$ uniform wooden stick of mass $1.6 \,kg$ and length $l$ rests in an inclined manner on a smooth, vertical wall of height $h$ < $l$ such that a small portion of the stick extends beyond the wall. The reaction force of the wall on the stick is perpendicular to the stick. The stick makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the wall and the bottom of the stick is on a rough floor. The reaction of the wall on the stick is equal in magnitude to the reaction of the floor on the stick. Find the ratio $h/l$ and the frictional force $f$ at the bottom of the stick. $(g=10 \,m \,s^{-2})$

  • A
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • B
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • C
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{8 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$
  • D
    $\frac{h}{l}=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{16}, f=\frac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3} \,N$

Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$-axis with $a_0$,then choose the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ heavy ball of mass $M$ is suspended from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass $m$ $(m \ll M)$. When the car is at rest,the speed of transverse waves in the string is $60 \, ms^{-1}$. When the car has acceleration $a$,the wave-speed increases to $60.5 \, ms^{-1}$. The value of $a$,in terms of gravitational acceleration $g$,is closest to:

Four blocks $A, B, C$ and $D$ of masses $6 \,kg, 3 \,kg, 6 \,kg$ and $1 \,kg$ respectively are connected by light strings passing over frictionless pulleys as shown in the figure. The strings $P$ and $Q$ are horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the horizontal surface and the block $B$ is $0.2$ and the blocks $A$ and $B$ move together. If the system is released from rest, then the tension in the string $Q$ is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

Two blocks of mass $2 \ kg$ and $1 \ kg$ are connected by an ideal spring on a rough surface. The spring is unstretched. The spring constant is $8 \ N/m$. The coefficient of friction is $\mu = 0.8$.
