4-2.Friction
medium

A force of $19.6\, N$ when applied parallel to the surface just moves a body of mass $10 \,kg$ kept on a horizontal surface. If a $5\, kg$ mass is kept on the first mass, the force applied parallel to the surface to just move the combined body is........ $N.$ 

A

$29.4$

B

$39.2$

C

$18.6$

D

$42.6$

Solution

(a) ${F_l} \propto R$ $\therefore $ ${F_l} \propto m$ i.e. limiting friction depends upon the mass of body. So, $\frac{{({F_l})\,\prime }}{{({F_l})}} = \frac{{m'}}{m} = \frac{{10 + 5}}{{10}}$

==>$({F_l})\,\prime = \frac{3}{2} \times {F_l} = \frac{3}{2} \times 19.6 = 29.4\;N$
