The frictional force between two bodies?
exists only when there is relative motion or tendency for motion
acts so as to oppose the motion
depends on the normal reaction between the two surfaces
is relatively independent of the area in contact
has all of these characteristics
Correct answer is E
Frictional force is the opposing force that is created between two surfaces that try to move in the same direction or that try to move in opposite directions.
The main purpose of a frictional force is to create resistance to the motion of one surface over the other surface.
A man walks 1km due east and then 1km due north. His displacement is
1 km N15oE
1 km N30oE
\(\sqrt 2\)km N 45oE
\(\sqrt 2\)km N 60oE
2km N 75oE
Correct answer is C
R = \(\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2}\) = \(\sqrt{2km}\)
\(\theta\) = tan-1 \(\frac{(1)}{1}\) = 45oC
= \(\sqrt 2\)km N 45oE

50cm
20cm
10cm
30cm
70cm
Correct answer is D
Taking moment about F,
200(X + 20) + (500 x 20) = (1000 x 20)
200X + 4000 + 10000 = 20000
200X + 14000 = 20000
200X = 20000 - 14000
200X = 6000
X = 30cm
