Q. The minimum force required to start pushing a body up a rough (frictional coefficient $\mu$) inclined plane is $\mathrm{F}_{1}$ while the minimum force needed to prevent it from sliding down is $\mathrm{F}_{2}$. If the inclined plane makes an angle $\theta$ from the horizontal such that $\tan \theta$ = $2 \mu$then the ratio $\frac{\mathrm{F}_{1}}{\mathrm{F}_{2}}$ is :-

(1) 4 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) 3

$=\frac{2 \mu+\mu}{2 \mu-\mu}=\frac{3 \mu}{\mu}=3$

Q. A block of mass m is placed on a surface with a vertical cross section given by $\mathrm{y}=\frac{\mathrm{x}^{3}}{6}$ . If the coefficient of friction is 0.5, the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is :-

(1) $\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{m}$

(2) $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m}$

(3) $\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{m}$

(4) $\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{m}$

[jee-main-2014]

Sol. (3)

For equilibrium under limiting friction

$\operatorname{mg} \sin \theta=\mu \operatorname{mg} \cos \theta$

$\Rightarrow \tan \theta=\mu$

From the equation of surface $y=\frac{x^{3}}{6}$

slope $=\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{3 x^{2}}{6}=\tan \theta$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{2}=\mu=0.5 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=1$

So $\mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{6}$

Q. Given in the figure are two blocks A and B of weight 20 N and 100 N, respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force F as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.1 and between block B and the wall is 0.15, the frictional force applied by the wall on block B is :-

(1) 120 N (2) 150 N (3) 100 N (4) 80 N

[jee-main-2015]

Sol. (1)

for equllibrrium of A

$\mathrm{f}_{1}=20$

for equllibrrium of B

$\mathrm{f}_{2}=\mathrm{f}_{1}+100$

$\mathrm{f}_{2}=120 \mathrm{N}$

Q. Two masses $\mathrm{m}_{1}$ = 5kg and $\mathrm{m}_{2}$ = 10kg, connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley, are moving as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of horizontal surface is 0.15. The minimum weight m that should be put on top of $\mathrm{m}_{2}$ to stop the motion is :-

(1) 27.3 kg (2) 43.3 kg (3) 10.3 kg (4) 18.3 kg
