Friction on horizontal surface
Question

A block of mass m, lying on a rough horizontal plane, is acted upon by a horizontal force P and another force Q inclined at an angle q to the vertical. The block will

remain in equilibrium, if the coefficient of friction between it and the surface is

Moderate
Solution

Here, Friction =μR=μ(mg+Qcosθ) and, Horizontal push =P+Qsinθ

For equilibrium μ(mg+Qcosθ)=P+Qsinθ

 μ=P+Qsinθ(mg+Qcosθ)
