The block of mass 'm' initially at x = 0 is acted upon by a horizontal force F = a - bx as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of contact is μ . The net work done on the block is zero if the block travels a distance of ________.

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

f = a - bx

f n ef = a - bx - f s

For block to move

at x = 0

a - b x > f s max = μ mg

a > μ mg , So we are assuming motion starts at x = 0

w = a - bx - μ mg dx

o = ax - bx 2 2 - μ mgx

x a - bx 2 - μ mg = 0

x = 0

a - bx 2 - μ mg = 0

bx 2 = a - μ mg

x = 2 b a - μ mg
