Questions  

A block pressed against the vertical wall is in equilibrium. The minimum coefficient of friction is:

a
0.4
b
0.2
c
0.5
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Here net driving force= mg-mg2=mg2downwardHence friction will act upward and its magnitude should be f = mg2If the block ‘m’ is stationary the friction between m and the wall should be static.f ≤ flimmg2≤μ.N ⇒ mg2 ≤μ(mg)  ⇒ μmin = 12
