Physics Newton's Laws of Motion Friction and Frictional Force MCQ (Single Correct)

Two identical blocks are kept on rough inclined plane (µ = 0.5). The blocks are connected with light string. If mg < F < 2mg, then -

A
Friction force on block ‘A’ is in upward direction
B
Friction force on block B may be either in upward direction or downward direction
C
Friction on block ‘A’ depends upon force ‘F’
D
Friction force on block ‘B’ may be zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Figure shows forces acting along the string

∴ f + = F – mg

⇒ f = F –

∴ If F < ⇒ f: – ve ⇒ Friction force on block ‘B’ is in upward direction.

F > ⇒ f: + ve ⇒ friction force on block ‘B’ is in downward direction.
