You are holding a vertical cylindrical rod of mass $1 \, kg$ by pressing it (with a force of $12 \, N$) with two fingers. The coefficient of friction between the rod and the fingers is $\mu = 0.5$. The force of friction on the rod will be ........ $N$.

$A$ heavy box is pushed across a rough floor with an initial speed of $4 \, m/s$. It stops moving after $8 \, s$. If the average resisting force of friction is $10 \, N$,the mass of the box (in $kg$) is:

$A$ block of mass $40 \,kg$ slides over a surface,when a mass of $4 \,kg$ is suspended through an inextensible massless string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown below. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface and the block is $0.02$. The acceleration of the block is ............ $m/s^2$. (Given $g = 10 \,m/s^2$.)

$A$ cylinder of mass $12 \,kg$ is sliding on a plane with an initial velocity $20 \,ms^{-1}$. If the coefficient of friction between the surface and the cylinder is $0.5$, what is the distance the cylinder travels before stopping (in $\,m$)?

$A$ horizontal force of $4\,N$ is needed to keep a block of mass $0.5\,kg$ sliding on a horizontal surface with a constant speed. The coefficient of sliding friction must be: $[g = 10\,m/s^2]$

$A$ $2 \, kg$ block on ice is given a velocity of $6 \, m/s$. If it comes to rest in $10 \, s$,what is the coefficient of friction?
