A wedge of mass m, lying on a rough horizontal plane, is acted upon by a horizontal force `F_(1)` and another force `F_(2)`, inclined at an angle `theta` to the vertical. The block is in equilibrium, then minimum coefficient of friction between it and te surface is

A

`(F_(2)sintheta)//(mg+F_(2)costheta)`

B

`(F_(1)costheta+F_(2))//(mg-F_(2)sintheta)`

C

`(F_(1)+F_(2)sintheta)//(mg+F_(2)costheta)`

D

`(F_(2)sintheta-F_(2))//(mg-F_(2)costheta)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


`f=muN,(F_(1)+F_(2)sintheta)=mu(mg+F_(2)costheta)`
`mu=(F_(1)+F_(2)sintheta)/(mg+F_(2)costheta)`
