If the coefficient of friction between the block of mass $m$ and the wedge is $\mu $,then the maximum horizontal acceleration of the wedge for which the block will remain at rest with respect to the wedge is

  • A
    $\left( {\frac{{3 - 4\mu }}{{4 + 3\mu }}} \right)g$

$A$ child weighing $25$ kg slides down a rope hanging from the branch of a tall tree. If the force of friction acting against him is $2$ $N$,the acceleration of the child is ........ $m/s^2$. (Take $g = 9.8$ $m/s^2$)

$STATEMENT-1$: $A$ block of mass $m$ starts moving on a rough horizontal surface with a velocity $v$. It stops due to friction between the block and the surface after moving through a certain distance. The surface is now tilted to an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal and the same block is made to go up on the surface with the same initial velocity $v$. The decrease in the mechanical energy in the second situation is smaller than that in the first situation. because
