Two beads of mass and are connected by a light rigid rod. System is at rest placed between a smooth wall and a rough floor having coefficient of friction . Which of the following are correct. ( T is the force exerted by the rod, is the normal force exerted by the wall, is the normal force exerted by the ground and f is the friction force exerted by the ground.)

Answer:
A, B, C, D
Solution:

For bead m1, horizontal equilibrium gives N1=T cosθ.

For bead m2, horizontal equilibrium gives f=T cosθ, while total vertical equilibrium gives N2=(m1+m2)g.

At limiting friction, f=μN2 and T sinθ=m1g.

Hence cotθ=μ(1+m2/m1), giving the stated minimum angle.
