Figure shows two blocks A and B pushed against the wall with the force F. The wall is smooth but the surfaces in contact of A and B are rough. Which of the following is true for the system of blocks to be at rest against wall?

a
F should be equal to weight of A and B
b
F should be less than weight of A and B
c
F should be more than weight of A and B
d
System cannot be in equilibrium (at rest).

detailed solution

Correct option is D

For system A and B together there is no upward force to balance the weight (mA+mB) g. So, system can never be in equilibrium.
