$A$ person is managing to be at rest between two vertical walls by pressing one wall with his hands and feet and the second wall with his back. The coefficient of friction is $0.5$ between his body and the walls. If the force with which the person pushes the walls is $500 \ N$,then the mass of the person is (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $kg$)

  • A
    $80$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $75$

$A$ ball of mass $2 \ kg$ is moving in $xy$-plane with a potential energy given as $U=(12x + 16y) \ J$, where $x$ and $y$ are in metres. Assume the initial position of the ball at $t=0$ is at the origin $(0,0)$ and it is moving with a velocity of $(15 \hat{i} + 20 \hat{j}) \ m/s$. Identify the correct statement.

$A$ $1 \,kg$ block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of negligible mass having spring constant $100 \,N \,m^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The block is released from rest with the spring in the unstretched position. The block moves $10 \,cm$ down the incline before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is (Take $g=10 \,m \,s^{-2}$ and assume that the pulley is frictionless).

$A$ $20 \text{ ton}$ truck is travelling along a curved path of radius $240 \text{ m}$. If the center of gravity of the truck above the ground is $2 \text{ m}$ and the distance between its wheels is $1.5 \text{ m}$, the maximum speed of the truck with which it can travel without toppling over is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$) (in $\text{ ms}^{-1}$)

$A$ block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta > \mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $P$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $P$ is varied from $P_1 = mg(\sin \theta - \mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2 = mg(\sin \theta + \mu \cos \theta)$,the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like:
