$A$ block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ can just be pushed upwards by applying a force $F$ as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $\theta = 60^{\circ}$,the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of the same magnitude $F$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is:

In the figure,a block of weight $60 \, N$ is placed on a rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $0.5$. Find the maximum weight $W$ such that the block does not slip on the surface.

$A$ mass $m$ is tied to one end of a spring and whirled in a horizontal circle with constant angular velocity. The elongation in the spring is $1 \ cm$. If the angular speed is doubled,the elongation in the spring is $6 \ cm$. The original length of the spring is (in $cm$)

Imagine a situation in which the horizontal surface of block $M_0$ is smooth and its vertical surface is rough with a coefficient of friction $\mu$. In the above problem,choose the correct value$(s)$ of $F$ for which the blocks $M$ and $m$ remain stationary with respect to $M_0$.

Five persons $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ are pulling a cart of mass $100 \, kg$ on a smooth surface and the cart is moving with an acceleration of $3 \, m/s^2$ in the east direction. When person $A$ stops pulling,it moves with an acceleration of $1 \, m/s^2$ in the west direction. When person $B$ stops pulling,it moves with an acceleration of $24 \, m/s^2$ in the north direction. The magnitude of the acceleration of the cart when only $A$ and $B$ pull the cart,keeping their directions the same as the original directions,is ............ $m/s^2$.
