4-2.Friction
hard

A board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between the log and the board is

A$\cos \theta$
B$\tan \theta$
C$\cot \theta$
D$\sin \theta$

Solution

For equilibrium condition
$(M+m) g \sin \theta=\mu(M+m) g \cos \theta$
$\tan \theta=\mu$
Here $\mu \rightarrow$ coefficient of friction between board and log.
