Physics Question on Friction
As shown in the figure a block of mass 10kg lying on a horizontal surface is pulled by a force F acting at an angle 30∘, with horizontal For μs=0.25, the block will just start to move for the value of F : [Given g=10ms-2] is
A
20N
B
35.7N
C
33.3N
D
25.2N
Answer
25.2N
Explanation
Solution
N=Mg−FSin30∘
=mg−2F=100−2F=2200−F
FCos30∘=μN
32F=0.25×(2200−F)
43F=200−F
F=43+1200=25.22
