$A$ horizontal force $F = mg/3$ is applied on the upper surface of a uniform cube of mass $m$ and side $a$,which is resting on a rough horizontal surface having $\mu_S = 1/2$. The distance between the lines of action of $mg$ and the normal reaction $N$ is:

  • A
    $a/2$
  • B
    $a/3$
  • C
    $a/4$
  • D
    None

$A$ cubical box of side $a$ sitting on a rough table-top is pushed horizontally with a gradually increasing force until the box moves. If the force is applied at a height from the table top which is greater than a critical height $H$,the box topples first. If it is applied at a height less than $H$,the box starts sliding first. Then,the coefficient of friction between the box and the table top is

The figure shows a man standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt that is accelerating with $1 \; m/s^2$. What is the net force on the man? If the coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the belt is $0.2$,up to what acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? (Mass of the man $= 65 \; kg.)$
