4-2.Friction
medium

If mass of $A = 10\,\,kg$, coefficient of static friction $= 0.2$, coefficient of kinetic friction = $0.2$. Then mass of $B$ to start motion is

A$2\, kg$
B$2.2\, kg$
C$4.8\, kg$
D$200\, gm$

Solution

$ma = T -\mu_s mg$
friction is static as we require limiting condition. for limiting case $a=0$
$T = m_B g$
$T = \mu _{ s } \times m_A \times g$
comparing both:
$m_B \times g = 0 .2 \times m_A \times g$
$m_B =2 kg$
