$A$ pulling force $F$ making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal is applied on a block of weight $W$ placed on a horizontal table. If the angle of friction is $\alpha$,then the magnitude of the force required to move the body is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{W \sin \alpha}{\tan (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • B
    $\frac{W \cos \alpha}{\cos (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • C
    $\frac{W \sin \alpha}{\cos (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • D
    $\frac{W \tan \alpha}{\sin (\theta - \alpha)}$

$A$ body of mass $2 \,kg$ is on an inclined plane of inclination $30^{\circ}$ and the coefficient of friction is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. The minimum force required to move the body up the inclined plane is (Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,N$)

As shown in the figure, a block of mass $10 \ kg$ lying on a horizontal surface is pulled by a force $F$ acting at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. For $\mu_{s} = 0.25$, the block will just start to move for the value of $F$: [Given $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$] (in $N$)

$A$ block of weight $W$ rests on a horizontal floor with coefficient of static friction $\mu$. It is desired to move the block by applying the minimum amount of force. The angle $\theta$ from the horizontal at which the force should be applied and the magnitude of the force $F$ are respectively:

Two masses $A$ and $B$ of $10\, kg$ and $5\, kg$ respectively are connected with a string passing over a frictionless pulley fixed at the corner of a table as shown. The coefficient of static friction of $A$ with the table is $0.2$. The minimum mass of $C$ that may be placed on $A$ to prevent it from moving is ........ $kg$.

The coefficient of static friction,$\mu_s$,between block $A$ of mass $2\, kg$ and the table as shown in the figure is $0.2$. Find the maximum mass value of block $B$ in $kg$ so that the two blocks do not move. The string and the pulley are assumed to be smooth and massless. $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
