STATEMENT 1

A cloth covers a table. Some dishes are kept on it. The cloth can be pulled out without dislodging the dishes from the table.

STATEMENT 2

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The pulleys and strings shown in the figure are smooth and of negligible mass. For the system to remain in equilibrium, the angle $$\theta $$ should be

A block of mass 0.1 is held against a wall applying a horizontal force of 5 N on the block. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.5, the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is:

A ship of mass 3 $$ \times $$ 10⁷ kg initially at rest, is pulled by a force of 5 $$ \times $$ 10⁴ N through a distance of 3 m. Assuming that the resistance due to water is negligible, the speed of the ship is
