A small block of mass m is kept on the inclined surface of a wedge of mass M. The inclined surface of the wedge makes an angle `theta` with the horizontal. The wedge is kept on a frictionless rigid horizontal floor. You can neglect friction between the block and the wedge also. An external agent applies a horizontal force F on the wedge.

The value of the force F so that the wedge remains at rest is `F_(1)`. Which of the options is incorrect?

A

`F_(4) = F_(1)`

B

`F_(4) = F_(2)`

C

`F_(4) = F_(2)`

D

`F_(4)` depends on `mu_(s)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For `F_(4) = F_(1)`, there will be no tendency of relative motion and hence friction is zero.
