A block placed on a horizotnal surface is being pushed by a force F making an angle `theta` with the vertical. If the friction coefficient is `mu`. How much force is needed to get the block just started. Discuss the situation when `tan thetaltmu`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The situation is shown in ure. In the limiting equilibrium the frictioN/Al force f will be equal to `muN`. For horizontal equilibrium
`F sin theta=muN`
