A force `F=t` is applied to a block A as shoen in figure where t is time in seconds. The force is applied at `t=0` seconds when the system was at rest. Which of the following graph correctly gives the frictional force between A and horizontal surface an a function of time t. [Assume that at `t=0`, tension in the string connecting the two blocks is zero].

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Let `m_A` and `m_B` be the mass of blocks A and B respectively. As the force F increases from 0 to `mu_sm_ag`, the frictional force f on block A is such that `f=F`. When `F=mu_sm_Ag`, the frictional force f attains maximum value `f=mu_Smg`.
As F is further increased to `mu_S(m_A+m_B)g`, The block A does not move. In this duration frictional force on block A remains constant at `mu_Sm_ag`.
Hence (c) is correct choice.
