Questions  

A block of weight W is held  in equilibrium against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force of 75 N. The surface of the wall is rough. Now, (consider μ < l)

a
W < 75 N
b
W = 75 N
c
W > 75 N
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

If W is in equilibrium f = WBut we know f ≤ μRHere R = 75 NHence W ≤ μR or(W ≤ μ(75))or 75 ≥ Wμ⇒ 75 = Wμor 75 > WμBut μ is generally less than 1∴  W < 75 N
