A block of mass 10kg10kg is kept on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. A force of 3N3N is applied on the block. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is 0.6.0.6 . What should be the minimum value of force P,P, such that the block does not move downward? (take g=10ms−2g = 10m{s}^{- 2} )

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.

Options

  1. A23N23N
  2. B25N25N
  3. C18N18N
  4. D32N32N

Correct answer

D. 32N32N

Step-by-step solution

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.
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.
Block will be at rest

mgsinθ+3N=P+fmgsin \theta + 3N = P + f

10×10×12+3=P+μmgcosθ10 \times 10 \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + 3 = P + \mu mgcos \theta

( ∵∵ To get PP minimum friction must be minimum)

{P}_\min = 50\sqrt{2} + 3 - 0.6 \times 10 \times 10 \times \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

=202+3=32N= 20\sqrt{2} + 3 = 32N
