A block of mass 5 kg is kept against an accelerating wedge with a wedge angle of 45° to the horizontal. The co-efficient of friction between the block and the wedge is μ=0.4. What is the minimum absolute value of the acceleration of the wedge to keep the block steady. Assume g=10 m s-2

  1. A 607 m s-2
  2. B 307 m s-2
  3. C 307 m s-2
  4. D 607 m s-2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 307 m s-2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Minimum acceleration, amin=g1-μ1+μ =101-0.41+0.4=6014 ∴  amin=307m s-2
