mass 1 kg is placed as shown. The co-efficient of friction between the block and all
surfaces of groove in contact is μ = 2/5. The disc has an acceleration of 25 m/s2.

8. Two particles of mass m each are tied at the ends of a light string of length 2a. The
whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that
each mass is at a distance ‘a’ from the center P (as shown in the figure). Now, the
midpoint of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force F. As a

(B) the block will remain at rest on the plane up to certain q and then it will topple

(C) at ϴ = 60º, the block will start sliding down the plane and continue to do so at higher angles

(D) at ϴ = 60º, the block will start sliding down the plane and on further increasing q, it will topple at certain ϴ

10. A block of mass m is on an inclined plane of angle ϴ. The coefficient of friction betwen the
block and the plane is ϴ and tan ϴ > μ. The block is held stationary by applying a force P
parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to the positive. As P
is varied from P = mg (sin ϴ – μ cos ϴ ) to Pz = mg (sin ϴ + μ cos ϴ), the frictional force f versus
P graph will look like
