In the arrangement shown in the figure,the masses of blocks $B$ and $A$ are $2m$ and $m$ respectively. The surface between $B$ and the floor is smooth. Block $B$ is connected to block $C$ by means of a string-pulley system. If the whole system is released,find the minimum value of the mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary with respect to $B$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$.

  • A
    $\frac{m}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{2m+1}{\mu+1}$
  • C
    $\frac{3m}{\mu-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{6m}{\mu+1}$

$A$ projectile is thrown from a point $O$ on the ground at an angle $45^{\circ}$ from the vertical and with a speed $5 \sqrt{2} \text{ m/s}$. The projectile at the highest point of its trajectory splits into two equal parts. One part falls vertically down to the ground,$0.5 \text{ s}$ after the splitting. The other part,$t$ seconds after the splitting,falls to the ground at a distance $x$ meters from the point $O$. The acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$.

Two wedges each of mass $600 \ g$ are placed next to each other on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the wedges and the surface is $0.4$. $A$ cube of mass $M$ is balanced on the wedges as shown in the figure. If there is no friction between the cube and wedges,the largest mass $M$ of the cube that can be balanced without motion of the wedges is . . . . . . $kg$.

State whether the following statements are true or false:
$(a)$ Momentum and the change in momentum are always in the same direction.
$(b)$ Action force and reaction force always act simultaneously and on the same body.

$A$ pebble of mass $0.05 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble,$(a)$ during its upward motion,$(b)$ during its downward motion,$(c)$ at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal direction? Ignore air resistance.

$A$ body of mass $6 \,kg$ is moving with a uniform velocity $4 \,m/s$. Its velocity changes to $6 \,m/s$ when a force of $12 \,N$ acts on it. Then its displacement is (in $\,m$)
