A block of mass 5kg5kg is placed at rest on a table of rough surface. Now, if a force of 30N30N is applied in the direction parallel to surface of the table, the block slides through a distance of 50m50m in an interval of time 10s10s. Coefficient of kinetic friction is (given, g=10ms–2g = 10m{s}^{– 2} ):A block of mass 5kg is placed at rest on a table of rough surface. Now, if a force of 30N is applied in the direction

Options

  1. A0.600 . 60
  2. B0.750 . 75
  3. C0.500 . 50
  4. D0.250 . 25

Correct answer

C. 0.500 . 50

Step-by-step solution

Forces acting on block is shown below

A block of mass 5kg is placed at rest on a table of rough surface. Now, if a force of 30N is applied in the direction

From the second equation of motion,

s=12at2⇒50=12a×102⇒a=1ms−2s = \dfrac{1}{2}a{t}^{2} ⇒ 50 = \dfrac{1}{2}a \times {10}^{2} ⇒ a = 1m{s}^{- 2}

Applying Newton's second law in vertical direction,

R−mg=0⇒R=mgR - mg = 0 ⇒ R = mg

(where RR is the magnitude of normal reaction on the block due to the surface)

If μ\mu is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface, applying Newton's second law in horizontal direction,

30−\muR=ma⇒30−\mumg=ma⇒30−50μ=5⇒μ=12=0.530 - \muR = ma ⇒ 30 - \mumg = ma ⇒ 30 - 50\mu = 5 ⇒ \mu = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0 . 5
