The system is pushed by a force F as shown in figure. All surfaces are smooth except between B and C. Friction coefficient between B and C is μ. Minimum value of F to prevent block B from downward slipping is:

 

a
(32μ)mg
b
(52μ)mg
c
(52)μmg
d
(32)μmg

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Horizontal acceleration of the system isa = F2m+m+2m = F5mLet N be the normal reaction between B and C. Free body diagram of C givesN = 2ma = 25FNow, B will not slide downward if 1μN ≥mBgor μ(25F) ≥ mg or F ≥ 52μmgor Fmin = 52μmg
