JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A block of mass \(m\) is placed on a surface having vertical cross section given by \(y=x^2 / 4\). If coefficient of friction is \(0.5\) , the maximum height above the ground at which block can be placed without slipping is _______.

  1. A \(1 / 4 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(1 / 2 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(1 / 6 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(1 / 3 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1 / 4 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{d y}{d x}=\tan \theta=\frac{x}{2}=\mu=\frac{1}{2}\) \(x=1, y=1 / 4\)
