Laws of Motion 3 Question 3

3. A block of mass 10kg is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. A force of 3N is applied on the block. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is 0.6 . What should be the minimum value of force F, such that the block does not move downward ? (Take, g=10ms2 )

Answer:

Correct Answer: 3. (a)

Solution:

  1. Free body diagram, for the given figure is as follows,

For the block to be in equilibrium i.e., so that it does not move downward, then

Σfx=03+MgsinθFf=0 or 3+Mgsinθ=F+f

As, frictional force, f=μR

3+Mgsinθ=F+μR

Similarly,

Σfy=0

Mgcosθ+R=0

or Mgcosθ=R

Substituting the value of ’ R ’ from Eq. (ii) to Eq. (i), we get

3+Mgsinθ=F+μ(Mgcosθ)

Here, M=10kg,θ=45,g=10m/s2 and μ=0.6

Substituting these values is Eq. (iii), we get 3+(10×10sin45)(0.6×10×10cos45)=F

F=3+1002602=3+402=3+202=31.8N or F32N
