Question
A block of mass m is placed on a surface with a vertical cross-section given by y =
. If the coefficient of friction is 0.5, the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping is
. If the coefficient of friction is 0.5, the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping isOptions
A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution

tan θ =

At limiting equilibrium
μ= tan θ
0.5 =

⇒ x = ±1
Now, y =
