A block of mass M = 5 kg is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.2. When a force F = 40 N is applied, the acceleration of the block will be (g = 10 ms2)
 

a
5.73m/sec2
b
8.0m/sec2
c
3.17m/sec2
d
10.0m/sec2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Kinetic friction μkR=0.2mg−Fsin ⁡30∘=0.25×10−40×12=0.2(50−20)=6N Acceleration of the block = Fcos 30∘− Kinetic friction  Mass =40×32−65=5.73m/s2.
