A system consists of three masses \(m_1\), \(m_2\), and \(m_3\) connected by a string passing over a pulley \(\mathrm{P}\). The mass \(m_1\) hangs freely, and \(m_2\) and \(m_3\) are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction = \(\mu\)). The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The downward acceleration of mass \(m_1\) is: (Assume \(m_1=m_2=m_3=m\) and \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity.) 
             
1. \(\frac{g(1-g \mu)}{9}\)
2. \(\frac{2 g \mu}{3}\)
3. \( \frac{g(1-2 \mu)}{3}\)
4. \(\frac{g(1-2 \mu)}{2}\)

A block of mass m lying on a rough horizontal plane is acted upon by a horizontal force P and another force Q inclined at an angle θ to the vertical. The block will remain in equilibrium if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is: 

      

1. (P+Qsinθ)(mg+Qcosθ)

2. (Pcosθ+Q)(mgQsinθ)

3. (P+Qcosθ)(mg+Qsinθ)

4. (PsinθQ)(mgQcosθ)

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

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