7. A block of mass 1 kg is placed on a rough horizontal surface. A spring is attached to the block
whose other end is joined to a rigid wall, as shown in the figure. A horizontal force is applied on
the block so that it remains at rest while the spring is elongated by x. Let Fmax and Fmin be the
maximum and minimum values of force F for which the block remains in equilibrium. For a
 µmg 

8. The surface of our waist and thighs can be approximated to be like curved surface of a vertical
cylinder. The force of friction acting between this curved surface and jeans balances the weight
of the jeans. To understand this mathematically, let us consider a vertical man whose waist is a
rigid cylinder having a circumference of 90 cm. He wears a jeans of mass 500 gm using an elastic
massless belt which can be assumed to be on elastic string of force constant 50 N/m and
circumference 85 cm when not extended. The coefficient of friction between waist and jeans is
0.5. What is the friction force (in N) acting between the man's waist and jeans?
Ans. 05.00

Sol.

FBD of jeans
dN = T dθ
Max. value of friction
fmax = ∫ µdN
2π
fmax = ∫ µTdθ
0
(T = Kx = 50 × 0.05 = 2.5 N)

fmax = 2πµT = 2π × 0.5 × 2.5 = 7.85398 N

force acting downward is force of gravity = mg = 5N (↓)
static force friction is self adjustable in nature therefore friction will be 5N (upward)

 4 
 
Ans. 08.00
Sol. f (x) = x3 – 3λx2 + (λ2 + 8)x + 24
For f(x) to be one-one, f '(x) ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ f '(x) = 3x2 – 6λx + (λ2 + 8)
⇒ D ≤ 0 ⇒ 36λ2 – 12 (λ2 + 8) ≤ 0
⇒ 2λ2 – 8 ≤ 0

Largest value of λ is 2.
Now, f (x) = x3 – 6x2 + 12x + 24

• This section contains SIX (06) questions.
• Each question has FOUR options. ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four option(s) is (are) correct
answer(s).
• For each question, choose the option(s) corresponding to (all ) the correct answer(s)
• Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking scheme:
Full Marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is (are) chosen.
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three options are chosen.
Partial Marks : +2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two options are chosen
and both of which are correct.
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option is chosen and it
is a correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.
For Example: If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with second
option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options will result in +4 marks.
Selecting only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any
incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of the three
correct options (either first or third or fourth option), without selecting any incorrect option (second
option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second option in this case),
with or without selection of any correct option(s) will result in –2 marks.
