For the arrangement shown in figure the coefficient of friction between the two blocks is µ. If both the block are identical, then the acceleration of each block is-
A
– 2 µ g
B
C
– µ g
D
Zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In fig, direction of friction is shown,
F – T – µmg = ma
T – µmg = ma
Solving the equations, a =
