Adjoining figure shows two blocks A and B pushed against the wall with a force F. The wall is smooth but the surfaces in contact of A and B are rough. Which of the following is true for the system of blocks to be at rest against the wall ?




Important Questions on Friction

The system shown in the figure is in equilibrium. The maximum value of W, so that the maximum value of static frictional force on 100 kg body is 450 N, will be :-

In the arrangement coefficient of friction between the two blocks is µ = . The force of friction acting between the two blocks is :-


The coefficient of static friction, µs, 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)

A horizontal force of is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall. The coefficient of friction between the block and wall is . The weight of the block is :-

A block of mass m is in contact with the cart as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is . The acceleration of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies:
