(refer to the figure). Gravity g acts vertically
downwards as shown in the figure. The coefficient
of friction between the disc and the surface is finite
and positive. Disregarding any other dissipation

Question 1 Explanation:
About point P there is no external torque.
[Because Torques of N and 'mg' balances and friction force pass through point P, hence its torque is zero]
\therefore \left [ \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} =\vec{\tau }_{ext}\right ]_{\text{about P}}=0
where \vec{\tau }= Torque and \vec{L }= Angular momentum
\begin{aligned} \vec{L_i}&=\vec{L_f}\\ I_0\omega &=I_0\omega '+mvr\\ \frac{mr^2}{2}\omega &=\frac{mr^2}{2}\omega'+m\omega 'r^2\\ \therefore \omega '&=\frac{\omega }{3}=\frac{5}{3}\\ \Rightarrow v&=\omega ' \times r\\&=\frac{5}{3} \times 0.15=0.25 m/s \end{aligned}
Question 2 |
Two rigid massless rods PR and RQ are joined at
frictionless pin-joint R and are resting on ground
at P and Q, respectively, as shown in the figure. A
vertical force F acts on the pin R as shown. When
the included angle \theta \lt 90^{\circ} , the rods remain in static
equilibrium due to Coulomb friction between the
rods and ground at locations P and Q. At \theta = 90^{\circ} ,
impending slip occurs simultaneously at points P
and Q. Then the ratio of the coefficient of friction
at Q to that at P P(\mu _Q/\mu _P) is _________ (round off to
two decimal places).

Question 2 Explanation:
By pythagoras theorem:
PQ = 13 m
By Geometry:
\begin{aligned} 5^2-PR^{'2}&=10^2-AR^{'2}\\ QR'&=13-PR'\\ \Rightarrow PR'&=\frac{25}{13}m\\ \Rightarrow QR'&=\frac{144}{13}m\\ \Sigma M_P&=0\\ \Rightarrow F(PR')&=N_Q(PQ)\\ \Rightarrow N_Q&=\frac{25}{169}F\\ \Sigma F&=0\\ \Rightarrow N_P&=F-\frac{25}{169}F\\ &=\frac{144}{169}F \end{aligned}
Now, f_P=\mu _PN_P, f_Q=\mu _QN_Q, \Sigma F_x=0
\begin{aligned} \mu _PN_P&=\mu _QN_Q\\ \frac{\mu _Q}{\mu _P}&=\frac{N_P}{N_Q}\\ &=\frac{144}{25}=5.76 \end{aligned}

Question 3 Explanation:
After forces are applied block is just about move (mass is negligible). Calculate coefficient of friction
\begin{aligned} F_{H} &=750 \mathrm{~N} \\ F_{V} &=900 \mathrm{~N} \\ \theta &=30^{\circ} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} N &=900 \cos \theta+750 \sin \theta \\ N &=900 \cos 30^{\circ}+750 \sin 30^{\circ} \\ &=1154.4228 \mathrm{~N} \\ F_{\max }+900 \sin 30^{\circ} &=750 \cos 30^{\circ} \\ \mu N &=199.519 \\ \mu &=\frac{199.519}{1154.4228} \\ \mu &=0.1728 \end{aligned}

A block of mass 10 kg rests on a horizontal floor. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the block is 0.2. A horizontal force of 10 N is applied on the block as shown in the figure. The magnitude of force of friction (in N) on the block is___

Question 4 Explanation:
Maximum friction force, f_{\max }=\mu \mathrm{N}=0.2 \times 10 \times 9.81=19.62 \mathrm{N}
Applied force, P=10 \mathrm{N} \lt \mathrm{f}_{\max }
\therefore Friction force = Applied force =10 \mathrm{N}
Applied force, P=10 \mathrm{N} \lt \mathrm{f}_{\max }
\therefore Friction force = Applied force =10 \mathrm{N}

Question 5 Explanation:
We can solve this question by moment or by force
triangle as this is condition of equilibrium (just to topple)
\begin{aligned} \sum M_{Q} &=0 \\ P \times 2-m g \times 1 &=0 \\ P &=\frac{m g}{2}=\frac{981}{2} \\ &=490.5 \mathrm{N} \end{aligned}
as P is horizontal force and it will be over come
by friction force
P=\left(f_{s}\right)_{\max } [ as this is at verge of motion ]
\begin{aligned} 490.5 &=\mu_{s} m g \\ \mu_{s} &=0.5 \end{aligned} OR
\begin{aligned} \tan \theta &=\frac{2}{1} \\ \theta &=63.4349^{\circ} \end{aligned}
Wardrobe is about to topple about pt Q so there
will be contact force from point Q on the wardrobe
\begin{aligned} \frac{W}{P} &=\tan \theta=2 \\ P &=\frac{W}{2}=\frac{981}{2}=490.5 \mathrm{N} \end{aligned}
Two components of R will balance W and P and
horizontal component (parallel to contacting
surface is called friction and perpendicular to
contacting surface is called normal reaction)
\begin{aligned} R \cos \theta &=\text { friction force } \\ &=P(\text { in magnitude }) \\ \left(f_{s}\right)_{\max } &=P=490.5 \\ \text{and}\qquad \left(f_{s}\right)_{\max } &=\mu_{s} m g\\ \mu_{s} m g &=490.5 \\ \mu_{s} &=0.5 \end{aligned}
