What is ?
A block A kept on an inclined surface just begins to slide if the inclination is 30∘. The block is replaced by another block B and it is found that it just begins to slide if the inclination is 40∘.
mass of A = mass of B
mass of A > mass of B
mass of A < mass of B
all the three are possible

In the figure shown co-efficient of friction between the block B and the block C is 0.4. there is no friction between the block C and the surface on which it is placed. The system of blocks is released from rest in the situation shown in the diagram. Find the distance moved by the block C when block A descends through a distance 2 m. Given masses of the blocks are mA = 3 kg, mB = 5 kg and mC = 10 kg.

There is a box of 70 kg on a rough surface and Ram is just able to pull the box by applying a force of F1 (Figure1) Avinash tries to pull the same box but in different orientation (figure (ii)). He had to apply force F2 is order to just move the box. Who had to apply a lesser force in order to just move the box?
(a)Both applied same force
Ram
Avinash
(a)Can't say until coefficient of friction is given.
- It always acts perpendicular to the surface.
- It may act perpendicular to the surface.
- It may act at some angle to the surface.
- It always acts parallel to the surface.
It is easier to make a body roll over a surface rather than to slide. Why?
