A block of mass \(m\) is placed on a smooth inclined wedge \(ABC\) of inclination \(\theta\) as shown in the figure. The wedge is given an acceleration '\(a\)' towards the right. The relation between \(a\) and \(\theta\) for the block to remain stationary on the wedge is:
          
1. \(a = \dfrac{g}{\mathrm{cosec }~ \theta}\)
2. \(a = \dfrac{g}{\sin\theta}\)
3. \(a = g\cos\theta\)
4. \(a = g\tan\theta\)

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised about the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches \(30^\circ,\) the box starts to slip and slide \(4.0~\text m\) down the plank in \(4.0~\text s.\) The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank will be, respectively:
              

1. \(0.6\) and \(0.6\)  2. \(0.6\) and \(0.5\) 
3. \(0.5\) and \(0.6\)  4. \(0.4\) and \(0.3\)

A block \(\mathrm{A}\) of mass \(m_1\) rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of the table and from its other end, another block \(\mathrm{B}\) of mass \(m_2\) is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block \(\mathrm{A}\) and the table is \(\mu_k\). When block \(\mathrm{A}\) is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is:

1. \( \dfrac{\left({m}_2+\mu_{{k}}{m}_1\right) {g}}{\left({m}_1+{m}_2\right)}\) 2. \( \dfrac{\left({m}_2-\mu_{{k}} {m}_1\right) {g}}{\left({m}_1+{m}_2\right)}\)
3. \(\dfrac{{m}_1 {~m}_2\left(1-\mu_{{k}}\right) {g}}{\left({m}_1+{m}_2\right)}\) 4. \( \dfrac{{m}_1 {~m}_2\left(1+\mu_{{k}}\right)}{{m}_1+{m}_2} {g}\)
