Question 46: Laws of Motion

Question

The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is 0.5 and the table is smooth. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied to move the blocks together is .................. N. (take g = 10 ms
-2
)

Accepted Answer

F = 3a (For system) ............ (i)
fs
max
= 1a (for 1 kg block) ............ (ii)
$$\mu$$ $$	imes$$ 1 $$	imes$$ g = a
F = 15N
