JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

A uniform chain of \(6\, m\) length is placed on a table such that a part of its length is hanging over the edge of the table. The system is at rest. The co-efficient of static friction between the chain and the surface of the table is \(0.5\), the maximum length of the chain hanging from the table is.......\(m.\)

  1. A \(25\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(9\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass per unit length \(=\lambda\) \(N = mg =\lambda( L - x ) g\) \(fs _{\max }=\mu_{ s } N\) \(fs _{\max }=(0.5)(\lambda)( L - x ) g\) And also \(fs _{\max }= m _{ x } g\) \(0.5 \lambda( L - x ) g =\lambda xg\) \(\frac{ L - x }{2}= x\)…
