 Hints and Solutions
1. (2)
given, Weight = 150 N 5. (2)
Horizontal force = 75 N Limiting friction F1 = sR = 0.5 × (5) = 2.5 N
We know
The friction force = f = N and N = weight = 150
N
Where,
 = coefficient of friction between the surface in
contact
N = normal force perpendicular to friction force
Since downward force is less than limiting friction
So, 75 =   150 therefore block is at rest so the static force of
75 friction will work on it
= = 0.5 Fs = downward force = weight
150
= 0.1 × 9.8 = 0.98 N
2. (4) 6. (4)
Let the mass of the block is m, Net force is forward direction = Accelerating force
Friction () = 0.2 + Friction
And acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/sec2 = ma +  mg = m(a +  g)
= (1500 + 500) (1 + 0.2 × 10)
= 2000× 3 = 6000 N

7. (3)
Sliding friction is greater than rolling friction

8. (1)
Angle of repose  = tan–1() = tan–1(0.8) = 38.6°
Resolving the force  Fy = 0 Angle of inclined plane is given  = 30°. It means
N = mg ……(i) block is at rest therefore.
And  Fx = 0 Static friction = component of weight in

11. (1) 15. (3)
According to the figure- fs = N = mg cos Given,
 = 0.85
Friction force (f) = N = mg
So, ma = mg
a = g
 a = 0.85g
Hence, the greatest acceleration (a) that can be
generated by the runnier is 0.85g.
The body is sliding down, then
mg sin –  mg cos = ma 16. (1)
a = g sin – g cos A self adjusting force can be defined as a force
which can change its magnitude as required in the
a = g (sin –  cos)
system.
Static-friction is a self-adjusting force.

When frictional force is opposite to direction the Now, applying the Newton’s second law Kinetic

18. (3)
The limiting friction is directly proportional to the
normal reaction
If, F = limiting friction
R = Normal Reaction
Given, F
m = 4 kg, s = 0.5, f = 14.14 N Then,  =

Friction, f = sN

0.5  40 friction drag between fluid such as air or water and
 = cos–1(0.707) an object moving through it.
So, vehicles have streamlined shape to reduce

fluid friction.

Given, m = 50 kg,  = 0.75 N = mg = 10 × 10
Let the normal reaction is N. In horizontal direction,
100 – f = ma
Since, the boy is climbing with constant speed.
100 – N = ma
 Fnet = 0 (on the boy) 100 – 0.5 × 10 × 10 = 10a
Free body diagram 10a = 100 – 50  50 = 10a
 a = 5m/s2

24. (1)
Frictional force is non-central and
non=conservative.

The maximum value of static friction which is
w = mg = 50 × 10 = 500 N generated between two surface is known as the

Work done against frictional force is equals the
kinetic energy of the body. Angle of repose is defined as the minimum angle

Kinetic energy of car ( K ) = mv02 a body on the plane just begin to slide down.

The block B will be come to rest when i.e., angle of friction = angle of repose

26. (3)
Ball bearing are used to reduce friction between
moving part of machine.
Ball hearing are used to convert sliding friction
into rolling friction because rolling friction is
much lesser than sliding friction.

Friction force = applied force 27. (1)

mg = ma F1  R  F1  m i.e. limiting friction depends
