Question

In the arrangement shown in the figure mass of the block B and A are 2 m,, 8 m respectively. Surface between B and floor is smooth. The block B is connected to block C by means of a pulley. If the whole system is released then the minimum value of mass of the block C so that the block A remains stationary with respect to B is : (Co-efficient of friction between A and B is m and pulley is ideal)       

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution

(D)     FBD of A
        A FBD

If the acceleration of ′C′ is a
For block ‘A’         N = 8 ma        .... (1) 
8 mg − μN = 0        .... (2) 
and acceleration a can be written by the equation of system (A + B + C)
m1 g = (10 m + m1) a        .... (3)
8 mg =
10 m + m1  = μ m1
10 m = (μ − 1) m1     ⇒     m1 =    Ans.
