A horizontal board is performing simple harmonic oscillations horizontally with an amplitude 0.3 m and a period of 4 s . The minimum coefficient of friction between a heavy body placed on the board if the body is not to slip is.

  1. A \(\mu=0.05\)
  2. B \(\mu=0.075\)
  3. C \(\mu=0.173\)
  4. D \(\mu=1.14\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mu=0.075\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The maximum acceleration of oscillation, \(\begin{aligned} & a_{\max }=\omega^2 A \Rightarrow \mu g=\left(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\right)^2 A \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=\frac{4 \pi^2 \times 0.3}{(4)^2 \times 10}=0.075 \end{aligned}\)
