Q47 / 60 · NEST (NISER) 2016 · Physics

A uniform block of mass $m$ resting on a rough horizontal plane just starts moving when pulled by a string with a force of magnitude $m g$ making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Then the block will move if it is

  • A
    pulled by a horizontal force of magnitude $m g$.
  • B
    pulled by a force of magnitude mg making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal.
  • C
    pushed by a force of magnitude mg making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal.
  • Correct answer
    D
    pulled by a force of magnitude $m g$ making an angle $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
