A force F pushes a block weighing l0 kg against a vertical wall as shown in the Figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and wall is 0.5. The minimum value of F to start the upward motion of block is : (g = 10m/s2)

a
500 newton
b
400 newton
c
250 newton
d
can't be determined

detailed solution

Correct option is A

FBD of blockFrom diagramN=Fcos⁡37∘=F45=4F5To start upward motionFsin⁡37∘=10g+μNTherefore, 35F=100+0.545F
