Blocks A and B of masses 5 kg and 10kg are placed as shown in figure. If block A is pulled with 50 N. Find out acceleration of the A and B. if coefficient of friction between A and B is 0.5and between B and ground is 0.4.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


Limiting friction between A and B, `f_(1)=mu_(1)R_(1)=0.5xx5g=24.5N`
Limiting friction between B and ground `f_(2)=mu_(2)R_(2)=0.4xx15g=58.8N`
For block `A 50-f_(1)=5xxarArr50-24.5=5xxarArra=5.1 m//s^(2)`
For block B accelerating force `f_(1)=24.5N` is less than limiting friction `f_(2)=58.8N` so block B will remain at rest.

Consider two blocks A and B of mass 3 kg and 9 kg respectively. Now, block A is placed on block B which is at rest on a table where the coefficient of friction between A and B is 0.4 and between B and the surface of the table is also 0.4. A force F is applied on B horizontally such that the block A does not slide over B. The maximum value of force F is ________N . (Take g = 10 m//s ^(2))

A is a 100kg block, and B is a 200kg block. As shown in figure the block A is attached to a string tied to a wall. The coefficient of friction between A and B is 0.2 and the coefficient of fricition between B and floor is 0.3. Then calculate the minimum force required to move the block B. (take g=10m//s^(2) ).
