If the coefficient of friction between A...

If the coefficient of friction between `A` and `B` is `mu`, the maximum acceleration of the wedge `A` for which `B` will remain at rest with respect to the wedge is

A

`mug`

B

`g((1+mu)/(1-mu))`

C

`g((1-mu)/(1+mu))`

D

`(g)/(mu)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

(b) `N sin theta+ mu N cos theta=ma`

`N cos theta+ mu N sin theta=ma`
Putting `theta=45^(@)` and solving these two equations , we get
`a=g((1+mu)/(1-mu))`
