a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of
45 0 with the horizontal, it takes time T. When die same body slides down from
rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through die same
distance, it is seen to take time pT, where p is some number greater than 1.
Calculate the coefficient of friction between the body and the rough plane.

A
racing car travels on a track (without banking) ABCDEFA (Fig.) ABC is a
circular arc of radius 2R. CD and FA are straight paths of length R and DEF is
a circular arc of radius R = 100 m. The co-efficient of friction on the road is
\[\mu =\,0.1\]. The maximum speed of the car is \[50\,m\,{{s}^{-1}}\]. Find the
minimum time for completing one round.

A
cricket bowler releases the ball in two different ways
(a)
giving it only horizontal velocity, and
(b)
giving it horizontal velocity and a small downward velocity.
The
speed \[{{\upsilon }_{s}}\] at the time of release is die same. Both are released
at a height H from the ground. Which one will have greater speed when the ball
hits, the ground? Neglect air resistance.

A
rectangular box lies on a rough incline surface. The co-efficient of friction
between the surface and the box is \[\mu \]. Let the mass of the box be m.
(a)
At what angle of inclination \[\theta \] of the plane to the horizontal will the box
just start to slide down the plane?
(b)
What is the force acting oil the box down the plane, if the angle of
inclination the plane is increased to \[a>0\]?
(c)
What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box
either remain stationary or just move up with uniform speed?
(d)
What is the force needed to be applied upwards along the plane to make the box move
up the plane with acceleration a?
