MCQ
The maximum value of $F$ which can be applied on the system shown in figure so that both blocks move together with same acceleration is .......... 
  • A
    $F=\mu M_2 g$
  • B
    $F=\mu\left[M_1-M_2\right] g$
  • C
    $F=\mu M_1 g$
  • $F=\mu\left[M_1+M_2\right] g$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$F=\mu\left[M_1+M_2\right] g$
d
(d)

Let both blocks move together with acceleration a. making $FBD$ of $m-2$ block for vertical balance

$M=M_2\,g$

$\Rightarrow fr =\mu M _2\,g$

$\Rightarrow a =\frac{ fr }{ M _2}=\mu g \ldots \ldots .(1)$

making FBD of second block

$F-f r=M_1 a$

$F-\mu m_2 g=M_1(\mu g )$

$\Rightarrow F=\mu\left[M_1+M_2\right]\,g$
