A small block of mass 0.1 kg lies on a fixed inclined plane PQ which makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A horizontal force of 1 N acts on the block through its center of mass as shown in the figure. The block remains stationary if (take g = 10 m/s 2 )

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, c)
Sol.

f = 0, If sin θ = cos θ ⇒ θ = 45°
f towards Q, sin θ > cos θ ⇒ θ > 45°
f towards P, sin θ < cos θ ⇒ θ < 45°
f = 0, sin θ = cos θ ⇒ θ = 45°
