4-2.Friction
medium

Given in the figure are two blocks $A$ and $B$ of weight $20\ N$ and $100\ N,$ respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force $F$ as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $0.1$ and between block $B$ and the wall is $0.15$, the frictional force applied by the wall on block $B$ is ........... $N$

A

$80$

B

$120 $

C

$150 $

D

$100$

Solution

$\begin{array}{l}
{\rm{Assuming}}\,both\,the\,blocks\,are\,stationary\\
N = F\\
{f_1} = 20\,N\\
{f_2} = 100 + 20 = 120N\\
Considering\,the\,two\,blocks\,as\,one\,system\\
and\,due\,to\,equilibrium\,f = 120N\,
\end{array}$
