A heavy box of mass 20 kg is pulled on a horizontal surface by applying a horizontal force. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the horizontal surface is 0.25, find the force of friction exerted by the horizontal surface on the box.

Correct Answer: 49 N
As the box slides on the horizontal surface, the surface exerts kinetic friction on the box. The magnitude of the kinetic friction is f = μN = μmg = 0.25 x (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s 2) = 49 N. This force acts in the direction opposite to the pull.

Directions: Seven different boxes A, B, C, D, E, F and G of different colours viz., Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Red and Green are arranged one above the other. The box at the bottom of arrangement is numbered 1, the above box is numbered 2 and so on. B is immediately above E. More than two boxes are above the Orange box. The Yellow box is immediately below A. Only one box is between the Orange box and F. G is immediately above the Red box. Only one box is between B and the Pink box. Only two boxes are between the Pink and the Green box. Only two boxes are between the Yellow box and the Orange box. The Purple box is neither at the top nor at the bottom of the arrangement.B is above Pink box. C is immediately above F. Neither C nor G is a Yellow box. G is not a Orange box. Question: Which combination represents the position of C and its colour?

A semi-circular disc rests on a horizontal surface with its top flat surface horizontal and circular portion touching down. The coefficient of friction between semi-cricular disc and horizontal surface is i. This disc is to be pulled by a horizontal force applied at one edge and it always remains horizontal. When the disc is about to start moving, its top horizontal force will

A semicircular disc rests on a horizontal surface with its top flat surface horizontal and circular portion touching down. The coefficient of friction between semi circular disc and horizontal surface is µ. This disc is to be pulled by a horizontal force applied at one edge and it always remains horizontal. When the disc is about to start moving, its top horizontal force will

A centrifugal clutch has four shoes. When the clutch is at rest, each shoe is pulled against a stop by a spring so that it leaves a radial clearance of 10 mm between the shoe and the rim. The pull exerted by the spring is then 700 N. The mass centre of the shoe is 150 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the rim is 500 mm, the mass of each shoe is 6 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 75 N/mm and the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the rim is 0.35; find the power transmitted by the clutch at 400 r.p.m.

A centrifugal clutch has four shoes. When the clutch is at rest, each shoe is pulled against a stop by a spring so that it leaves a radial clearance of 7.5 mm between the shoe and the rim. The pull exerted by the spring is then 600 N. The mass centre of the shoe is 120 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the rim is 350 mm, the mass of each shoe is 5 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 60 N/mm and the coefficient of friction between the shoe and the rim is 0.2; find the speed of the centrifugal clutch, if the power transmitted is 40.168 kW.
