    Two masses \[{{m}_{1}}=5kg\] and\[{{m}_{2}}=10kg\], connected by an inextensible string over a frictionless pulley, are moving as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction of horizontal surface is 0.15. The minimum weight m that should be put on top of \[{{m}_{2}}\] to stop the motion is:              [JEE Main Online 08-04-2018]

    A)  \[\text{43}\text{.3 kg}\]                     

    B)  \[\text{10}\text{.3 kg}\]

    C)  \[\text{18}\text{.3 kg}\]                     

    D)  \[\text{27}\text{.3 kg}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{m}_{1}}g=\mu ({{m}_{2}}+m)g\] \[\therefore \text{ }m\text{ }=\text{ }23.3\text{ }kg\] Value greater than this and minimum in the given options is 27.3 kg
