A 60 kg body is pushed horizontally with just enough force to start it
moving across a floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. The
coefficient of static and sliding friction are 0.5 and 0.4 respectively. The
acceleration of the body?
A. 6 m/s2

B. 4.9 m/s2 60 kg
C. 3.92 m/s2
𝛍s = 0.5
D. 1 m/s2
𝛍k = 0.4
A block of mass M = 5 kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for
which the coefficient of friction is 0.5. When a force F = 50N is applied,
the acceleration of the block will be (g = 10 m/s2)
A. 6.0 m/s2
F = 50N
B. 8.0 m/s2
C. 3.17 m/s2
37°
D. 10.0 m/s2 M

𝛍 = 0.5
 The block moves towards right under action of horizontal force F(figure
a). Sometime later another force P is applied to the block making an
angle θ (such that tanθ = μ) with vertical as shown in fig b. After
application of force P, the acceleration of block shall
P
A. increase (a (b)

B. decrease
F F
C. Remains same m

 A force F= 2t (where t is time in seconds) is applied at t=0 sec to the block of mass
m placed on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction
between the block and surface are μs and μk respectively. Which of the following
graphs best represents the acceleration vs time of the block (μs >μk) ?

A.

An insect of mass m, starts moving on a rough inclined surface from
point A. As the surface is very sticky, the coefficient of friction between
the insect and the incline is μ=1. Assume that it can move in any
direction, up the incline or down the incline then
A. The maximum possible acceleration of the insect can be 14m/s2
B. The maximum possible acceleration of the insect can be 2m/s2
C. The insect can move with a constant velocity
D. The insect cannot move with a constant velocity
