Laws of Motion 3 Question 24

26. In the figure, the blocks A,B and C have masses 3kg,4kg and 8kg respectively. The coefficient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is 0.25.A is held at rest by a massless rigid rod fixed to the wall, while B and C are connected by a light flexible cord passing around a fixed frictionless pulley. Find the force F necessary to drag C along the horizontal surface to the left at a constant speed. Assume that the arrangement shown in the figure. i.e. B on C and A on B, is maintained throughout.(Take g=10m/s2 ).

Answer:

Correct Answer: 26. 80N

Solution:

  1. Maximum friction between A and B=μmAg

or

f1=0.25(3)(10)=7.5N

Maximum friction between B and C=μ(mA+mB)g

or

f2=0.25(3+4)(10)=17.5N

Maximum friction between C and ground

f3=μ(mA+mB+mC)g=0.25(3+4+8)(10)=37.5N

Block C and hence block B are moving in opposite directions with constant velocities and block A is at rest. Hence, net force on all three blocks should be zero. Free body diagrams have been shown below (Only horizontal forces are shown)

For equilibrium of B,T=f1+f2=25N

For equilibrium of C,F=T+f2+f3=80N
