Question

In the pulley arrangement shown, the pulley P2 is movable. Assuming coefficient of friction between m and surface to be μ, the minimum value of M for which m is at rest is

 

Moderate
Solution

f = 2T---------(i)

T = Mg-------(ii)

If m be at rest friction will be static

f  μN

2Mg  μmg  M = μm2
