A brick begins to slide over a surface which is inclined at an angle of with respect to horizontal axis. The co-efficient of static friction between their surfaces is:
- A1
- B1.7
- C0.5
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Condition for a body to just begin sliding on an incline
When a block is on an inclined plane of angle , the forces along the plane are:
- Component of weight down the plane:
- Maximum static friction up the plane:
- Normal reaction:
At the point where the block just begins to slide, limiting equilibrium gives:
So,
- Substitute the given angle
Here,
Hence,
- Match with the options
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Therefore, the correct answer is:
So, Option A is correct.
