NEET · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

A uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is _______. (take \(\left.g =10 m / s ^2\right)\)

  1. A 100 N
  2. B \(100 \sqrt{3} N\)
  3. C 200 N
  4. D \(200 \sqrt{3} N\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(100 \sqrt{3} N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Taking torque about A :
\(\begin{array}{l} f _{ s } L \cos 60^{\circ}+ mg \frac{ L }{2} \sin 60^{\circ}= N _2 L \sin 60^{\circ} \\ f _{ s }\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+200\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=200 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \\ f _{ s }=100 \sqrt{3} N\end{array}\)
