MCQ
Block $A$ weighing $100$ kg rests on a block $B$ and is tied with a horizontal string to the wall at $C$. Block $B$ weighs $200 \,kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $0.25$ and between $B$ and the surface is $1/3$. The horizontal force $P$ necessary to move the block $B$ should be  ........ $N$ $(g = 10\,m/{s^2})$
  • A
    $1150$
  • $1250$
  • C
    $1300$
  • D
    $1420$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1250$
b
(b) Friction between block $A$ and block $B$ & between block $B$ and surface will oppose the $P$

$\therefore $ $P = {F_{AB}} + {F_{BS}}$ $ = {\mu _{AB}}{m_A}g + {\mu _{BS}}({m_A} + {m_B})g$

$ = 0.25 \times 100 \times 10 + \frac{1}{3}(100 + 200) \times 10$ $=1250\, N$

A strange cat with a mass $m_c$ is sitting at rest on the left plank of a pair of identical planks. Each plank has mass $m_s$ and they rest on frictionless ice. Suddenly, the cat leaps to the right plank, traveling with a horizontal speed $v_{cg}$ measured with respect to the ground. The instant the cat reaches the right plank, it turns around and leaps back to the left plank. The horizontal component of the cat’s speed is again $v_{cg}$ measured with respect to the ground. The final speed of right plank in terms of the masses of the cat and planks and the cat’s leaping speed is (The cat remains on the left plank after its return).
