Questions  

A box of mass 8 kg is placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination 30°. Its downward motion can be prevented by applying a horizontal force F, then value of F for which friction between the block and the incline surface is minimum, is

a
803 N
b
403 N
c
403 N
d
803 N

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For friction to be minimum,F cosθ = mg sinθ⇒  F = mg tanθ = 8×10×tan300  = 803 N
