Block 'A' of mass 100 kg is kept above another block 'B' of mass 300 kg. 'A' is tied to the wall 'C' with a horizontal string. The coefficient of friction between 'A' and 'B' is 0.35 and that between 'B' and the horizontal surface is 0.5. Find the horizontal force P, necessary to move the block 'B'. India's Super Teachers for all govt. exams Under One Roof
Explanation: Referring to FBD of given system below Normal Reaction force on block A = N1 = mAg ---- (1) Normal Reaction force on block B = N2 = mBg + N1 = ( mAg + mBg ) ----(2) Friction force between A and B = f1 = μ1N1 = μ1mAg ---- (3) Friction force between B and horizontal surface = f2 = μ2N2 = μ2( mAg + mBg ) ---- (4) Also from FBD of block B, P = f1 + f2 = μ1mAg + μ2( mAg + mBg ) ---- (5) Given, mA = 100 kg, mB = 300 kg, μ1 = 0.35, μ2, 0.50 Putting above values in equation (5) then we get, P = 2350 N. Hence Option 3) is correct choice. India’s #1 Learning Platform Start Complete Exam Preparation

The value of spring constant k depends on ________.
Option 1 : elastic properties of the material.
CONCEPT:
Spring force: In an ideal spring, the force required to stretch a string from its equilibrium position is directly proportional to the extension of the spring. This is known as Hooke's law for springs: Fs = -kx Where Fs is the spring force, x is the displacement from the equilibrium position and k is the spring constant. The spring constant is the property of the spring. EXPLANATION: Option 1: The spring constant is the characteristic property of the spring. The value of the spring constant depends on the elastic properties of the spring how the spring applies force when it is stretched. Option 2: it does not depend on the force applied. Force applied can change the extension of the spring. Option 3: Spring constant solely does not depend on the spring length. Option 4: Spring constant does not depend on the extension or compression of the spring. Extension or compression of the spring depends on the force applied. So the correct answer is option 1.
