$A$ chain of length $L$ rests on a rough table. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the maximum fraction of the chain that can hang over the table will be:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu - 1}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu}{\mu + 1}$
  • C
    $(\mu - 1)$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\mu + 1}$

If $250 \,J$ of work is done in sliding a $5 \,kg$ block up an inclined plane of height $4 \,m$,the value of work done against friction is ............. $J$ $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$.

The force required to just move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,then the inclination $\theta$ of the plane is:

$A$ rocket is fired vertically from the earth with an acceleration of $2g,$ where $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. On an inclined plane inside the rocket,making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,a point object of mass $m$ is kept. The minimum coefficient of friction $\mu_{min}$ between the mass and the inclined surface such that the mass does not move is

There are two inclined surfaces of equal length $(L)$ and the same angle of inclination $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. $A$ given body takes $2$ times as much time to slide down the rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction $(\mu_k)$ between the object and the rough surface is close to:

$A$ particle is placed at rest inside a hollow hemisphere of radius $R$. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the hemisphere is $\mu = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$. The maximum height up to which the particle can remain stationary is
