$A$ block of mass $m$ slides along a floor while a force of magnitude $F$ is applied to it at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{K}$. Then,the block's acceleration $a$ is given by: ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)

  • A
    $-\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g + \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta + \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$

$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod such that the rod is just in the state of rest. The coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$,where $K$ is a positive constant and $x$ is the distance from the end where the force is not applied. Find the tension at the midpoint of the rod.
