As shown in the figure,a block of mass $\sqrt{3} \text{ kg}$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu = \frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the vertical face of the block at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The minimum force $F$ required to just move the block is $3x$. Find the value of $3x$.
$\left[ g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2; \sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}; \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} \right]$

$A$ block of mass $M$ is held against a rough vertical wall by pressing it with a finger. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is $\mu$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $g$,calculate the minimum force required to be applied by the finger to hold the block against the wall.

Block $B$ lying on a table weighs $W$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $\mu$. Assume that the cord between $B$ and the knot is horizontal. The maximum weight of the block $A$ for which the system will be stationary is

In the figure shown,a block of weight $10 \, N$ is resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. $A$ force of $3.5 \, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion,once it has been set in motion. If a horizontal force of $3 \, N$ is applied to the block,then the block will:

If the normal force is doubled,the coefficient of friction is

$A$ force of $19.6\, N$ when applied parallel to the surface just moves a body of mass $10\, kg$ kept on a horizontal surface. If a $5\, kg$ mass is kept on the first mass,the force applied parallel to the surface to just move the combined body is........ $N.$
