A block of mass 10 k g is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. A force of 3 N 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 P , such that the block does not move downward? (take g = 10 m s - 2 )
Options
- A23 N
- B25 N
- C18 N
- D32 N
Correct answer
D. 32 N
Step-by-step solution
Block will be at rest m g sin ⁡ θ + 3 N = P + f 10 × 10 × 1 2 + 3 = P + μ m g cos ⁡ θ ( ∵ To get P minimum friction must be minimum) P m i n = 50 2 + 3 - 0.6 × 10 × 10 × 1 2 = 20 2 + 3 = 32 N
