In the arrangement shown in the figure, the coefficient of friction between two blocks is 0.5. The force of friction between the two blocks is (Assume that the (4 ~kg ) block is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.) (Acceleration due to gravity (=10 ~ms ⁻² ).)
Options
- A(8 ~N )
- B(10 ~N )
- C(6 ~N )
- D(4 ~N )
Correct answer
A. (8 ~N )
Step-by-step solution
According to the question, the given condition is shown in the figure, If (f ) be the friction force between (2 ~kg ) and (4 ~kg ) block then the static friction force on (2 ~kg ) block. ( aligned & .f^ = R₁=0.5 2 ~g =0.5 2 10 [Given, =0.5 ] & f^ =10 ~N aligned ) Since, the static friction on (2 ~kg ) block is more than force applied on it. ( i.e, f^ > 2 ~N ) Hence, (2 ~kg ) body will move along the direction of (4 ~kg ) body. Hence, net friction force on the block of (2 ~kg ), ( aligned f & =f^ -2 ~N & =10-2=8 ~N
