A block of mass ' 
' is placed on top of a larger block of mass ' 
', which rests on a frictionless horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 
. A horizontal force ' 
' is applied to the larger block ' 
. What is the maximum value of ' 
' for which the block ' 
' will not slip on block ' 
?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
According to Newton's second law, the maximum acceleration of block ' 
' without slipping is
For the block ' 
' not to slip on ' 
',
