The correct Answer is:
To find the value of the pulling force \( F \) for which the block just moves, we need to analyze the forces acting on the block. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces**: - The weight of the block acting downwards: \( mg \) (where \( m \) is the mass of the block and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity). - The normal force \( N \) acting upwards. - The pulling force \( F \) applied at an angle \( \theta \) to the horizontal. - The frictional force \( f \) opposing the motion. 2. **Resolve the Pulling Force**: - The horizontal component of the pulling force is \( F \cos \theta \). - The vertical component of the pulling force is \( F \sin \theta \). 3. **Apply Newton's Second Law in the Vertical Direction**: - The sum of the vertical forces must equal zero for the block to be in equilibrium vertically: \[ N + F \sin \theta = mg \] - Rearranging gives: \[ N = mg - F \sin \theta \] 4. **Calculate the Frictional Force**: - The frictional force \( f \) is given by: \[ f = \mu N \] - Substituting for \( N \): \[ f = \mu (mg - F \sin \theta) \] 5. **Set Up the Equation for Motion**: - For the block to just start moving, the horizontal component of the pulling force must equal the frictional force: \[ F \cos \theta = f \] - Substituting for \( f \): \[ F \cos \theta = \mu (mg - F \sin \theta) \] 6. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Expanding the right side: \[ F \cos \theta = \mu mg - \mu F \sin \theta \] - Bringing all terms involving \( F \) to one side: \[ F \cos \theta + \mu F \sin \theta = \mu mg \] - Factoring out \( F \): \[ F (\cos \theta + \mu \sin \theta) = \mu mg \] 7. **Solve for \( F \)**: - Finally, solving for \( F \): \[ F = \frac{\mu mg}{\cos \theta + \mu \sin \theta} \] ### Final Answer: The value of the pulling force \( F \) for which the block just moves is: \[ F = \frac{\mu mg}{\cos \theta + \mu \sin \theta} \]
