Statement $I :$ $A$ cyclist is moving on an unbanked road with a speed of $7 \, km/h$ and takes a sharp circular turn along a path of radius $2 \, m$ without reducing the speed. The static friction coefficient is $0.2$. The cyclist will not slip and pass the curve $(g = 9.8 \, m/s^2)$.
Statement $II :$ If the road is banked at an angle of $45^{\circ}$,the cyclist can cross the curve of $2 \, m$ radius with a speed of $18.5 \, km/h$ without slipping.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is incorrect and statement $II$ is correct.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is correct and statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • C
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are false.
  • D
    Both statement $I$ and statement $II$ are true.

At time $t=0$, a force $F=\alpha t$, where $t$ is time in seconds, is applied to a body of mass $1 \text{ kg}$, resting on a smooth horizontal plane. If the direction of the force makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, then the velocity of the body at the moment of its breaking off the plane is

In the figure,a ball of mass $m$ is tied with two strings of equal length as shown. If the rod is rotated with angular velocity $\omega$,then

$A$ truck starting from rest moves with an acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$ for $1\,sec$ and then moves with constant velocity. The velocity w.r.t. ground v/s time graph for the block in the truck is (Assume that the block does not fall off the truck and the coefficient of friction $\mu = 0.2$):

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

In the arrangement shown in the figure,the masses of blocks $B$ and $A$ are $2m$ and $m$ respectively. The surface between $B$ and the floor is smooth. Block $B$ is connected to block $C$ by means of a string-pulley system. If the whole system is released,find the minimum value of the mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary with respect to $B$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$.
