Two masses and of and , respectively, are connected with a string passing over a frictionless pulley fixed at the corner of a table as shown. The coefficient of static friction of with table is . The minimum mass of that may be placed on to prevent it from moving is,




Important Questions on Friction
A block of mass is at rest relative to the stationary wedge of mass . The coefficient of friction between block and wedge is . The wedge is now pulled horizontally with acceleration as shown in the figure. Then the minimum magnitude of for the friction between block and wedge to be zero is







Two blocks and are placed on a plane surface as shown in the figure. The mass of block is and that of block is . Block is tied to a stand and block is pulled by a force . If the coefficient of friction between the surfaces of and is and the coefficient of friction between and the plane is , then for the motion of the minimum value of will be,
