The block may be stationary, when mgsinθ⋅L=αmgcosθ2L αor α=mgcosθ2Lmgsinθ⋅L=2cosθsinθ=2tanθ=2tanθ
The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination θ is perfectly smooth while lower half is rough. A block starting from rest at the top of the plane will again come to rest at the bottom, if the coefficient of friction between the block and lower half of the plane is given by

A bullet of mass 10 g moving with 400 m/s penetrates a wall and comes to rest. The loss in kinetic energy is:
Two cities X and Y are connected by a regular bus service with a bus leaving in either direction every T min. A girl is driving scooty with a speed of 60 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ in the direction X to Y notices that a bus goes past her every 30 minutes in the direction of her motion, and every 10 minutes in the opposite direction. Choose the correct option for the period T of the bus service and the speed (assumed constant) of the buses.
A uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is (take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ )
The kinetic energies of two similar cars $A$ and $B$ are 100 J and 225 J respectively. On applying breaks, car A stops after 1000 m and car B stops after 1500 m . If $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}$ are the forces applied by the breaks on cars A and B , respectively, then the ratio $\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{A}} / \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}$ is :
A balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius changes from $R$ to 0 (zero) in time $T$. If the speed $\eta(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$ then
