Block \(A\) of mass \(100 \mathrm{~kg}\) is kept above another block \(B\) of mass \(300 \mathrm{~kg}\). \(A\) is tied to the wall \(C\) with a horizontal string. The coefficient of friction between \(A\) and \(B\) is 0.35 and that between \(B\) and the horizontal surface is 0.5 . Find the horizontal force \(p\), necessary to move the block \(B\).

  1. A \(1150 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(1250 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(2350 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(1420 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2350 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, the coefficient of friction between \(A\) and \(B, \mu_1=0.35\) The coefficient of friction between \(B\) and surface, \(\mu_2=0.5\) Mass of block \(A, m_a=100 \mathrm{~kg}\) Mass of block \(B, m_b=300 \mathrm{~kg}\) Frictional force between blocks \(A\) and \(B\),…
