QAIPMT-2004-Ph-2651: NEET 2004 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2004-Ph-2651 Solution: The coefficient of static friction, \( _s\), between block A of …

The coefficient of static friction, μs\mu_s, between block A of mass 2 kg and the table as shown in the figure is 0.2. What would be the maximum mass value of block B so that the two blocks do not move? The string and the pulley are assumed to be smooth and massless. (g = 10 m/s2\text{m/s}^2)

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 2.0 kg
  • B 4.0 kg
  • C 0.2 kg
  • D 0.4 kg

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Free body diagram of two masses is We get equations T + m a = f _ or T = _ N A ( f o r a = 0 ) and T = ma + mg or T = m B g (for a = 0) _ _ N A = m B g _ m B = _ m A = 0.2 _ 2 = 0.4 k g
