An insect is at the bottom of a hemispherical ditch of radius $R = 1\, m$. It crawls up the ditch but starts slipping after it is at height $h$ from the bottom. If the coefficient of friction between the ground and the insect is $\mu = 0.75$,then $h$ is $.......\, m$. $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

$A$ block of wood resting on an inclined plane of angle $30^o$ just starts moving down. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$,its velocity (in $ms^{-1}$) after $5\, s$ is: $(g = 10\, ms^{-2})$

In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane,two blocks of masses $M$ and $m$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$. The value of $m$,for which $M=10 \text{ kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \text{ m/s}^2$,is: (take $g=10 \text{ m/s}^2$ and $\tan 37^{\circ}=3/4$) (in $\text{ kg}$)

$A$ block is lying on an inclined plane which makes $60^\circ$ with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $0.25$ and $g = 10\,m/s^2$,then the acceleration of the block when it moves along the plane will be ........ $m/s^2$.
