Two blocks A and B of masses 2 kg and 8 ...

Two blocks A and B of masses `2 kg` and `8 kg` respectively are kept in contact and pressed against a roguh vertical wall by applying a horizontal force `F = 50 N` as shown, The frictional force acting between the two blocks is

A

zero

B

`6 N`

C

`8 N`

D

`10 N`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The two block will move with a common acceleration
`a = (100- 30)/(10) = 7 m//s^(2)`
Now, for the block 'A'
`20 - f_(S) = 2 xx 7`
`therefore f_(S) = 6N`
