Two masses m1=5 kg and m2=10 kg, connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley, are moving as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of horizontal surface is 0.15. The minimum weight m that should be put on top of m2 to stop the motion is:

  1. 10.3 kg
  2. 18.3 kg
  3. 27.3 kg
  4. 43.3 kg

Solution

T=5gμ10+m5g10+m50.15
m23.33 kgm=27.3 kg.
