A block of mass "5kg" is placed on a wedge having inclination of `37^(@)` with the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between block and wedge is 0.8. Then select the correct statement.

A

Friction force between block and the wedge is 32 N.

B

Friction force between block and the wedge is 30N.

C

Contact force between block and wedge is 80N.

D

Contact force between bock and wedge is 40N.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`f_("max")=mumg cos theta=8xx5xx10xx(4)/(5)=32`
as `f_("max")ltmg sin theta`
friction `=mg sin theta-xx10xx(3)/(5)=30` Newton
and `N=mg cos theta=40N`
`rArr "contanct force"=sqrt((30)^(2)+(40)^(2))=50N`

Block A of mass 5kg is placed on long block B having a mass of 5kg . The coefficient of friction between two block is 0.4 . There is no friction between the ground and lower block. The upper block is given a sudden velocity of 10m//s . The upper block slides toward right, so friction force acting on it will be toward left.
