A block of mass m rests on an inclined plane and is attached by a string to the wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is $$0.25.$$ The string can withstand a maximum force of $$20$$ N. The maximum value of the mass (m) for which the string will not break and the block will be in static equilibrium is ____________ kg.
Take $$\cos \theta = 0.8$$ and $$\sin \theta = 0.6$$. Acceleration due to gravity g $$=$$ $$10$$ m/s²

A two-member truss $$PQR$$ is supporting a load W. The axial forces in members $$PQ$$ and $$QR$$ are respectively

For a floating body, buoyant force acts at the

An inverted U-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure difference between two pipes $$A$$ and $$B,$$ as shown in the figure. Pipe $$A$$ is carrying oil (specific gravity $$= 0.8$$) and pipe $$B$$ is carrying water. The densities of air and water are $$1.16\,\,kg/{m^3}$$ and $$1000\,\,kg/{m^3},$$, respectively. The pressure difference between pipes $$A$$ and $$B$$ is _______________$$kPa.$$

$$Acceleration$$ $$due$$ $$to$$ $$gravity$$ $$g = 10\,m/{s^2}$$
