JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 4.2 friction

The coefficient of static friction between a wooden block of mass \(0.5\, kg\) and a vertical rough wall is \(0.2\) The magnitude of horizontal force that should be applied on the block to keep it adhere to the wall will be \(N\) \(\left[ g =10\, ms ^{-2}\right]\)

  1. A \(25\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(20\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F.B.D.\) of the block is shown in the diagram Since block is at rest therefore \(fr - mg =0\) \(........(1)\) \(F- N =0\) \(..........(2)\) \(fr \leq \mu N\) In limiting case \(fr =\mu N =\mu F\) \(........(3)\) Using eq. \((1)\) and \((3)\) \(\therefore \mu F = mg\)…
