QJEEM22Phc323: JEE Main 2022 Physics - Class 11 JEEM22Phc323 Solution: A 2 kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by applying a…
A 2 kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force of 50 N. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.5. A force F is also applied on the block vertically upward (as shown in figure). The maximum value of F applied, so that the block does not move upward, will be :
(Given : g = 10 ms 2)
Multiple Choice Options
- A 10 N
- B 20 N
- C 25 N
- D 45 N
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Here Fmax force is trying to move the block upward so friction force will be applied towards downward.
Along horizontal direction,
N = 50 N
Along vertical diretion,
Fmax = mg + fmax
= 2 10 + N
= 20 + 0.5 50
= 20 + 25
= 45 N
