Q.

In the given diagram, the block A and B are place in contact. The contact between the blocks is rough while the contacts at wall and ground are smooth. The two blocks remain at rest.
The contact force acting between the blocks is R. The minimum required co – efficient of friction between the blocks for them to stay at rest is μ. Find the value of 25×R×μ in the units of Newton

Detailed Solution

Figure shows a free body diagram of lower block:
Question Image 
Under the condition of block A to be just likely to slip, fmax=μN    
Using Newton’s laws: Nsin37oμNcos37o=0 and Ncos37o+μNsin37o=50N  
Thus, the required coefficient of friction is: μ=0.75 
If R is contact force with R1  and  R2 as their components along normal and tangent to the contact of the block
Question Image 
R1sin37oR2cos37o=0 and R1cos37o+R2sin37o=50N
R1(34)=R2  andR145+(34R1)35=50N 
R1=40Nand  R2=30Nmaking  R=50N 
25×R×μ=25×50×0.75=15N
