In the figure shown, a solid sphere of mass 'm' and radius r is released from a height 6r to slide down a smooth surface. A plank of same mass 'm' touches the horizontal portion of the surface at the ground. The co-efficient of friction between the plank and the sphere is mu and that between the plank and the ground is mu//4 . Find the work done by the friction force between the plank and the ground till the sphere starts pure rolling on the plank. Neglect the height of the plank.

Assertion : Work done by or against gravitational force in moving a body from one point to another is independent of the actual path followed between the two points. Reason : This is because gravitational forces are conservative forces.

A man of mass 80kg pushes box of mass 20kg horizontaly. The man moves the box with a constant acceleration of 2 m//s^(2) but his foot does not slip on the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. whereas there is sufficient friction between the man's foot and the ground to prevent him from slipping. Assertion:- The force applied by the man on the box is equal and opposite to the force applied by the force applid by the box on the man. Reason:- Friction force applied by the ground on the man is 200N.
