4-2.Friction
medium

A rough vertical board has an acceleration $‘a’$ so that a $2$ kg block pressing against it does not fall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the board should be

A

$ > g/a$

B

$ < g/a$

C

$ = g/a$

D

$ > a/g$

Solution

(a) For the limiting condition upward friction force between board and block will balance the weight of the block.

i.e. $F > mg$

==> $\mu (R) > mg$

==> $\mu (ma) > mg$

==> $\mu > \frac{g}{a}$
