  1. 72 N    
  2. 40 N    
  3. 36 N    
  4. 20 N    

hintHint:

F=(ma+mb)a

The correct answer is: 36 N


    Maximum frictional force on block B is
    mu m subscript B end subscript g equals 0.4 cross times 3 cross times 10 equals 12 N
    Hence, maximum acceleration equals fraction numerator 12 over denominator 3 end fraction equals 4 blank m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
    Hence, maximum force
    F equals open parentheses m subscript A end subscript plus m subscript B end subscript close parentheses a equals open parentheses 6 plus 3 close parentheses cross times 4 equals 36 N
    Aliter: We can also apply the formula discussed in previous problem by putting mu subscript 2 end subscript equals 0 and mu subscript 1 end subscript equals 0.4

    A block of mass m subscript 1 end subscript lies on the top of fixed wedge as shown in figure [a] and another block of mass m subscript 2 end subscript lies on top of wedge which is free to move as shown in figure [b]. Attimet equals 0, both the blocks are released from rest from a vertical height h above the respective horizontal surface on which the wedge is placed as shown. There is no friction between block and wedge in both the figures. Let T subscript 1 end subscript and T subscript 2 end subscript be the time taken by the blocks, respectively, to just reach the horizontal surface
