A block kept on a rough inclined plane, as shown in the figure, remains at rest upto a maximum force 2N down the inclined plane. The maximum external force up the inclined plane that does not move the block is 10N. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is: [Take g=10 m/s2 ]

  1. 34
  2. 23
  3. 12
  4. 32

Solution

2+mgsinθ=μ mgcosθ

mgsinθ-μ mgcosθ=2 ........1
mgsinθ+ μ mgcosθ=10 .......2

equation (1) devided by (2)

mg sinθ-μcosθmg sinθ+ μcosθ=-210=-15 

1-μ35=-1+μ3

6=43 μ

μ=32
