4-2.Friction
hard

In the arrangement shown in the figure, mass of the block $B$ and $A$ is $2\,m$ and $m$ respectively. Surface between $B$ and floor is smooth. The block $B$ is connected to the block $C$ by means of a string pulley system. If the whole system is released, then find the minimum value of mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary w.r.t. $B$. Coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$.

A$\frac{m}{\mu}$
B$\frac{2 m+1}{\mu+1}$
C$\frac{3 m}{\mu-1}$
D$\frac{6 m}{\mu+1}$

Solution

If $A$ and $B$ are moving without slipping
$m_c g-T=m_c a…….(i)$
$T =3 ma………(ii)$
w.r.t. $B$
$N=m a$
$m_c g=\mu m a$
$a=g / a$
$m_c g-\frac{3 m g}{u}=m_c g / \mu$
$m_c=\frac{3 m}{\mu-1}$
