Laws of Motion - Result Question 47

47. A block of mass 1kg is placed on a truck which accelerates with acceleration 5m/s2. The coefficient of static friction between the block and truck is 0.6 . The frictional force acting on the block is

(a) 5N

(b) 6N

(c) 5.88N

(d) 4.6N

Answer:

Correct Answer: 47. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Maximum friction force =μmg

=.6×1×9.8=5.88N

But here required friction force

=ma=1×5=5N

For a body placed on a moving body and Ist body not to slide - applied force F< limiting friction ( = Ms mg) combined system will move together with common acceleration a1=a2=FM+m.
