Important Questions on Equilibrium of Concurrent Forces and Friction


A block of mass lying on a rough horizontal surface is acted upon by a horizontal force and another force at an angle to the vertical line,The block will remain in equilibrium if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is


An insect crawls up a hemispherical surface very slowly, see Fig. 8.68. The coefficient of friction between the insect and the surface is . If the line joining the centre of the hemispherical surface to the insect makes an angle a with the vertical, the maximum possible value of is given by



Block of mass is placed over the block of mass . The combination is placed over a rough horizontal surface, The coefficients of friction between and the floor is .The coefficient of friction between is A horizontal force of is applied on block B. The force of friction between is:
