[PHYSICS]

1.(AD) Impending state of motion is a critical border line between static and dynamic state of body. The block under the
influence of P sin  (Component of P) may have a tendency to move upward or it may be assumed that P sin 
just prevents downward fall of the block. Therefore there are two possibilities:
Case (I)
Impending motion upward : In this case force of friction is
downward from conditions of equilibrium
 Fx  N  P cos   0
or N  P cos 
 Fy  P sin   N  mg  0
mg
or P sin   P cos   mg  0 or Pmax 
sin    cos 
Case (II)
Impending motion downward : In this case friction force acts upward
 Fx  N  P cos   0
or N  P cos 
 Fy  P sin   N  mg  0
mg
or P sin   P cos   mg  0 or Pmin 
sin    cos 
Therefore the block will be in state of equilibrium for
mg mg

3.(AC) When wedge PQR rests on face PQ, block A will slide down and block B will be about to start sliding because for
block B,
Angle of repose for block B (R )  tan 1 ()
 R  tan 1 (4 / 3)  53

For equilibrium of block B

 Fx  0  f1  60sin 53
 f1  48 N

When wedge rests about face QR,

For equilibrium of A:

 Fx  0  40sin 37  N 3  0  N 3  24 N
For equilibrium of B:

 Fy  0  N 2  60 cos 37  0  N 2  48 N
 4
So, ( f 2 ) max  N 2    (48)  64 N
 3
And  Fx  0  60sin 37  N 3  f 2  0
 60sin 37  24  f 2
 f 2  60 N { f 2  ( f 2 ) max }

Hence  

4.(AB) Component of A along B is | A | cos  Bˆ for  being the angle between the vectors.

ˆ  i  j . So, choice (a) is correct.
Also B

The vector (iˆ  ˆj ) is perpendicular to the vector (iˆ  ˆj ).

So, the other resolved component is | A | sin   .

5.(BC) The resultant of three vectors is zero only if they can form a triangle. But three vectors lying in different planes
cannot form a triangle.

Given,  P  4 ˆj  4 kˆ
 x  2 and y  1
So, coordinates of P are (2, 1,  1) .
Since x-component of torque at Q about ‘O’ is zero and y and z-components are equal in magnitude and directed
