A block of mass 20 kg is kept on rough incline plane. If angle of repose is 30°, then what should be value of F ext so that the block does not move over incline plane?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
consider the equilibrium of the block for minimum value of force we have

so 

consider the equilibrium of the block for maximum value of force we have

so
=
=200 N
