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 $0.5$. What should be the maximum weight $W$ (in $N$) such that the block does not slip on the surface?

$A$ block of mass $M = 100 \, kg$ is pulled by a force $T$ at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ person of mass $m = 25 \, kg$ is standing on a platform and pulls the block with the force $T$. Find the maximum upward acceleration $a_{\max}$ of the person such that the block just starts to move.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \, kg$ and $10 \, kg$ in contact with each other rest on a table against a rigid wall. The coefficient of friction between the bodies and the table is $0.15$. $A$ force of $200 \, N$ is applied horizontally to $A$. What are $(a)$ the reaction of the partition $(b)$ the action-reaction forces between $A$ and $B$? What happens when the wall is removed? Does the answer to $(b)$ change,when the bodies are in motion? Ignore the difference between $\mu_{s}$ and $\mu_{k}$.

In the figure,a ladder of mass $m$ is shown leaning against a wall. It is in static equilibrium making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the ladder is $\mu_1$ and that between the floor and the ladder is $\mu_2$. The normal reaction of the wall on the ladder is $N_1$ and that of the floor is $N_2$. If the ladder is about to slip,then

$A$ disc of mass $100 \,g$ slides down from rest on an inclined plane of $30^{\circ}$ and comes to rest after travelling a distance of $1 \,m$ along the horizontal plane. If the coefficient of friction is $0.2$ for both inclined and horizontal planes, then the work done by the frictional force over the whole journey, approximately, is (Acceleration due to gravity, $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$) (in $\,J$)

$A$ $500 \, kg$ horse pulls a cart of mass $1500 \, kg$ along a level road with an acceleration of $1 \, m/s^2$. If the coefficient of sliding friction is $0.2$,then the force exerted by the horse in the forward direction is ......... $N$.
