Two wedges each of mass $600 \ g$ are placed next to each other on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the wedges and the surface is $0.4$. $A$ cube of mass $M$ is balanced on the wedges as shown in the figure. If there is no friction between the cube and wedges,the largest mass $M$ of the cube that can be balanced without motion of the wedges is . . . . . . $kg$.

$A$ ball is dropped on the floor from a height of $20 \ m$. It rebounds to a height of $5 \ m$. The ball remains in contact with the floor for $1 \ s$. The average acceleration during contact is (acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$): (in $m/s^2$)

The figure shows an arrangement of a rod of length $l$ and mass $M$ and a bead of mass $m$ attached to a weightless string passing over a frictionless pulley. At $t = 0$,the bead is level with the lower end of the rod. The bead slides down the string with considerable friction and is opposite to the other end of the rod after $T$ seconds. Assuming friction between the bead and the string to be constant throughout,the frictional force is:
