4-2.Friction
hard

Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected with a massless unstretched spring and placed over a plank moving with an acceleration ' $a$ ' as shown in figure. the coefficient of friction between the blocks and platform is $\mu$.

Aspring will be stretched if $a > \mu g$
Bspring will be in its natural length under all conditions.
Cspring will neither be compressed nor be stretched for $a \leq \mu g$
Dspring will be compressed if $a \leq \mu g$

Solution

$\therefore f _{ r }$ static and $f _{ r }$ kinetic
both provide same acceleration
to $m_1$ and $m_2$.
So no relative motion between them
$\therefore x=0$ (Always)
