Questions  

In the figure, a block of weight 60 N is placed on a rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surfaces is 0.5. What should be the weight W such that the block does not slip on the surface?

a
60 N
b
602N
c
30 N
d
302N

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Frictional force:  f= μN = 0.5×mg = 0.5×60 = 30 NNow F = T1= T2cos 450or 30 = T2 cos 450and W = T2 sin 450Solving them we get W = 30 N
