In the figure shown, the wedge is fixedand the masses are released from rest. The coefficient of friction between A and the incline is `mu_(1)` and B and the incline is `mu_(2)`. Then which of the following sentence is (are) correct
(I) normal reaction between A and B can never be zero
(II) normal reaction between A and B is zero only if `mu_(1) = mu_(2)`

A

I only

B

II only

C

both I and II

D

none

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
if `mu_(1) lt mu_(2)`, then also `N gt 0`
