Two bodies of masses m 1 = 5 kg and m 2 = 3 kg are connected by a light string going over a smooth light pulley on a smooth inclined plane as shown in the figure. The system is at rest. The force exerted by the inclined plane on the body of mass mi will be: [Take g= 10ms -2 ]
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
For equilibrium m 2 g = m 1 g sin 
Normal force on mi = 5g cos
