Block A of mass m rests on the plank B of mass 3m which is free to slide on a frictionless horizo-ntal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and plank is 0.2. If a horizontal force of magnitude 2 mg is applied to the plank B, the acceleration of A relative to the plank and relative to the ground respectively, are:

a
b
c
d

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Maximum force applied on B for which A and B will move together is given by  Since applied force (2mg) is greater than Fmax, block A will slip over B.,
