1. A particle of mass 1.2kg rests on a rough horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the table is 0.2. A force P N is applied to the particle along a string attached to it. The string is inclined at an angle of

to the table. Find the friction force, correct to two decimal places, if:
a) P = 2
b) P = 3
2. A particle weighing 3 kg wt rests in limiting equilibrium on a rough plane inclined at an angle of

to the horizontal. Find:
a) the coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane. Ans: 0.47b) the least force which when applied up the plane will cause the particle to move
3. A mass of 24 kg is on the point of motion down a rough inclined plane when supported by a force of 100 N parallel to the plane. If the magnitude of the force is increased to 120 N, the mass is on the point of moving up the plane. Find:
a) the friction force
b) the inclination of the plane to the horizontal
c) the coefficient of friction
sorry for the heap of q's ... having trouble
please help =]
thanks ..
