Q.

As shown in the figure, a block of mass 10 kg lying on a horizontal surface is pulled by a force F acting at an angle of 30° with the horizontal. For μs=0.25, the block will just start to move for the value of F (Given g=10 m s-2)               [2023]

1 33.3 N  
2 25.2 N  
3 20 N  
4 35.7 N  

Ans.

N=Mg-Fsin30°=mg-F2=100-F2=200-F2

Fcos30°=μN

3F2=0.25×(200-F2)

43F=200-F

F=20043+1=25.22
