Q94 / 125 · BITSAT 2017 · Physics

Two blocks A and B are placed one over the other on a smooth horizontal surface. The maximum horizontal force that can be applied on lower block A, so that A and B move without separation is 49 N. The coefficient of friction between A and B is

Figure

  • A
    0.2
  • B
    0.3
  • Correct answer
    C
    0.5
  • D
    0.8

Solution

Equation of motion of lower block is

F=μMA+MB·g

μ=FMA+MBg

=4910×9.8=12=0.5

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