Laws Of Motion Question 401

Question: Mass of block A is 10 kg. Coefficient of friction between the block A and surface is 0.3. What is the maximum values of M for which system remains in equilibrium(g=10m/s2)

Options:

A) 2 kg

B) 6 kg

C) 3 kg

D) 5 kg

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Maximum friction force between block A and surface is:

fmax=μmg=(0.3)(10)(10)=30N

Therefore, maximum tension in the string connected with block A should be 30 N.

Now,

Tcos45=30 …(1)

Tsin45=Mg ….(2)

From equations (1) and (2), M = 3 kg
