JEE Main & Advanced Physics NLM, Friction, Circular Motion Question Bank Static and Limiting Friction

  • question_answer
    In the figure shown, a block of weight 10 N resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface \[{{\mu }_{s}}=0.4\]. A force of 3.5 N will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of 3 N is applied to the block, then the block will   [MP PET 1993]

    A)                         Move over the surface with constant velocity          

    B)                         Move having accelerated motion over the surface            

    C)                         Not move          

    D)                         First it will move with a constant velocity for some time and then will have accelerated motion

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                                \[{{F}_{l}}={{\mu }_{s}}R=0.4\times mg\,=0.4\times 10=4N\]i.e. minimum 4N force is required to start the motion of a body. But applied force is only 3N. So the block will not move.
