Two carts are pushed apart by the explosion of a charge placed between them. $A$ cart of mass $100 \ kg$ stops after traveling a distance of $18 \ m$. What distance will a cart of mass $300 \ kg$ travel before stopping? The coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the carts and the ground is the same for both.

One end of a spring of force constant $150 \text{ dyne cm}^{-1}$ is connected to a block of mass $0.2 \text{ kg}$ kept on a rough horizontal surface of coefficient of friction $0.3$. The other end of the spring is connected to a rigid support as shown in the figure and the spring is initially undeformed. The maximum velocity $v$ that can be given to the block so that it travels only in one direction is . . . . . . $\text{ms}^{-1}$. (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \text{ ms}^{-2}$)

$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?
