The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom if the coefficient of friction between the block and the lower half of the plane is given by:

  • A
    $\mu = \frac{1}{\tan\theta}$
  • B
    $\mu = \frac{2}{\tan\theta}$
  • C
    $\mu = 2\tan\theta$
  • D
    $\mu = \tan\theta$

Which of the following statements is not true?

$A$ block of mass $m$ is lying on a rough inclined plane having an inclination $\alpha = \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{5})$. The inclined plane is moving horizontally with a constant acceleration of $a = 2 \text{ ms}^{-2}$ as shown in the figure. The minimum value of the coefficient of friction,so that the block remains stationary with respect to the inclined plane,is (Take $g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$):

The figure shows an arrangement of a rod of length $l$ and mass $M$ and a bead of mass $m$ attached to a weightless string passing over a frictionless pulley. At $t = 0$,the bead is level with the lower end of the rod. The bead slides down the string with considerable friction and is opposite to the other end of the rod after $T$ seconds. Assuming friction between the bead and the string to be constant throughout,the frictional force is:

Three forces $\vec{F}_1=(2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}) \,N$,$\vec{F}_2=(2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \,N$,and $\vec{F}_3=(\hat{k}-4 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}) \,N$ are applied on an object of mass $1 \,kg$ at rest at the origin. The position of the object at $t=2 \,s$ will be:

$Assertion$: Use of ball bearings between two moving parts of a machine is a common practice.
$Reason$: Ball bearings reduce vibrations and provide good stability.
