Q89 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (17 Mar Shift 1) · Physics

Two blocks (m=0.5 kg and M=4.5 kg) are arranged on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 37. Then the maximum horizontal force that can be applied on the larger block so that the blocks move together is N. (Round off to the Nearest Integer) [Take g as 9.8 m s-2]

Figure

Correct answer: 21

Solution

amax=μg=37×9.8

F=(M+m)amax=5amax

=21 N

Hence, the correct answer is 21.
