Laws Of Motion Question 405

Question: A block A is kept on a block B. Friction between B and ground is negligible. μs and μK are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between A and B, respectively. A horizontal force F is applied on A. a1 is the acceleration of B just before A slips on B and a2 is the acceleration of B after A slips on B. Assume μs>μK . Then

Options:

A) a1>a2

B) a1<a2

C) a1=a2

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Just before slipping occurs force acting on B is,μsmg , where m is the mass of block A. After the slipping the force on block B is μKmg .

Force before slipping is more, so acceleration before slipping should be more.
