    A body of mass 10 kg slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is\[1/\sqrt{3}\]. Taking \[g=10\,m/{{s}^{2}}\], the least force which acts at an angle of \[30{}^\circ \] to the horizontal is

    A) 25 N

    B)               100 N

    C) 50 N

    D) \[\frac{50}{\sqrt{3}\,}\,N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let P force is acting at an angle \[30{}^\circ \] with the horizontal. For the condition of motion \[\operatorname{F} \,=\, \mu \,R\] \[\operatorname{P} cos\,\,30{}^\circ  \,=\,\,m (mg - P\,sin 30{}^\circ )\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,P\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\left( 100-P\frac{1}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{3P}{2}=\,\,\left( 100-\frac{P}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,2P=100\,\, \therefore \,\, P=50\,\,N\]
