A 2 m long ladder rests against a wall and makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal floor. Where will be the instantaneous center of rotation when the ladder starts slipping ?i. 1.0 in from the wallii. 1.732 m from the walliii. 1.0 m above the flooriv. 1.732 m above the floorThe correct answer is
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
All of these
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
