$A$ person is managing to be at rest between two vertical walls by pressing one wall with his hands and feet and the second wall with his back. The coefficient of friction is $0.5$ between his body and the walls. If the force with which the person pushes the walls is $500 \ N$,then the mass of the person is (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)

  • A
    $80$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $75$
  • D

The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction between the block and the lower half of the plane is given by:

What is the value of the contact force $R$ on an object of mass $m$ placed on an inclined plane with angle $\theta$?

In the figure,two blocks are connected by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400 \, N$,block $B$ weighs $300 \, N$,and the strut $AB$ weighs $200 \, N$. If $\mu = 0.25$ under block $B$,determine the minimum coefficient of friction under block $A$ to prevent motion.
