SOLUTIONS
Sol.1 (C) Sol.6 (B)
Sum of magnitudes of forces is not zero. The motion will stop when the force of friction
is equal to the weight of M2. That is, when
Sol.2 (D) M2g = µ(M1 + m)g.

Sol.3 (C) Sol.7 (C)

Since the drop is falling with uniform speed, Wet friction is smaller than the dry friction.
the weight of the drop is unchanged. That is
weight (0.1 × 10–3)kg × 10 ms–2 = 10–3 N Sol.8 (D)
Friction between fluid (air) and solid is called
Sol.4 (D) wet friction.
The tension in the string will be equal to the
effective weight of 5 kg mass. When the
system falls freely, the effective weight is
zero.

Sol.5 (C)
The vertical component of the force
increases the normal reaction. Hence
Mg sin θ ≥ µ (Mg + Mg cos θ),
which gives tan θ / 2 ≥ µ.
