Laws Of Motion Question 333

Question: The minimum force required to start pushing a body up rough (frictional coefficient u) inclined plane is F1 while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down isF2 . If the inclined plane makes an angle θ from the horizontal such thattanθ=2μ then the ratio F1F2 is

Options:

A) 1

B) 2

C) 3

D) 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] For the upward motion of the body mgsinθ+f1=F1

or, F1=mgsinθ+μmgcosθ

For the downward motion of the body, mgsinθf2=F2

orF2=mgsinθμmgcosθ

F1F2=sinθ+μcosθsinθμcosθ

tanθ+μtanθμ=2μ+μ2μμ=3μμ=3
