 A force F=t is applied to block A as shown in figure, where t is time in seconds. The
force is applied at t=0 seconds when the system was at rest. Which of the following
graphs correctly gives the friction force between A and horizontal surface as a
function of time t. (Assume that at t=0, tension in the string connecting the two
blocks is zero)

With reference to the figure shown, if the coefficient of friction at the
surfaces is 0.42, then the force required to pull out the 6.0kg block with
an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2 will be :
A. 36N
24 N 2 kg
B.
𝛍 = 0.42
C. 84N
6 kg F=?
D. 51 N
𝛍 = 0.42
A 40 kg slab rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. A 10 kg block rests on the
top of the slab. The static coefficient of friction between the block and slab is 0.60 while
the kinetic friction is 0.40. The 10 kg block is acted upon by a horizontal force 100N. If
g = 10 m/s2, the resulting acceleration of the slab will be

A. 1 m/s2
B. 1.5 m/s2 2 kg
10kg 100 N
C. 2 m/s2 𝛍k=0.4, 𝛍s=0.6
40kg
D. 6 m/s2
In the system shown in the figure the friction coefficient between ground and
bigger block is 𝞵. There is no friction between both the blocks. The string
connecting both the block is light; all three pulleys are light and frictionless.
Then the minimum limiting value of 𝞵 so that the system remains in
equilibrium is

A. 1/2
B. 1/3
C. 2/3
D. 3/2

3 flat blocks in the figure are positioned on the 37° incline and a force parallel to the inclined
plane is applied to the middle block. The upper block is prevented from moving by a wire
which attaches it to the fixed support. The masses of three blocks in kg and coefficient of
static friction for each three pairs of contact surface is shown in the figure. Determine the
maximum value which force P may have before slipping take place anywhere.
