A 8 kg block is at rest on a horizontal floor. If you push horizontally on the 8 kg block with a force of 20 N, it just starts to move.

(a) What is the coefficient of static friction?

(b) A 10.0 kg block is stacked on top of the 8 kg block. What is the magnitude F of the force, acting horizontally on the 8 kg block as before, that is required to make the two blocks start to move?

ans a)if the block just starts moving then static friction force is equal to the applied force

friction force=F (applied force)

u.N =20 (here N is normal reaction =mg=80N)

u=20/80=.25

ans b) F(min)=static friction force

=u.N (N=mg =180N)

=0.25*180=45N

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
