Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$-axis with $a_0$,then choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    There exists a value of $a_0 = \beta$ at which friction force on block $M$ becomes zero.
  • B
    There exists two values of $a_0 = (\beta + \alpha)$ and $(\beta - \alpha)$ at which the magnitudes of friction acting on block $M$ are equal.
  • C
    The maximum value of static friction force acts on the block $M$ at two accelerations $a_1$ and $a_2$ such that $a_1 + a_2 = 2\beta$.
  • D
    All of the above.

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 $M_0$.

$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and it is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If there is no friction between any two surfaces,then:

$A$ pebble of mass $0.05 \, kg$ is thrown vertically upwards. Give the direction and magnitude of the net force on the pebble,$(a)$ during its upward motion,$(b)$ during its downward motion,$(c)$ at the highest point where it is momentarily at rest. Do your answers change if the pebble was thrown at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal direction? Ignore air resistance.

Three forces $\vec{F}_1=(2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}) \,N$,$\vec{F}_2=(2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}) \,N$,and $\vec{F}_3=(\hat{k}-4 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j}) \,N$ are applied on an object of mass $1 \,kg$ at rest at the origin. The position of the object at $t=2 \,s$ will be:
