Passage / Comprehension

Two blocks 3 kg and 6 kg are placed on a rough surface () as shown in the figure. The friction coefficient between the two blocks is . A force F is applied on one of the blocks as stated in each question.

Choose the CORRECT statement.

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The most the 3 kg block can drive the 6 kg block with is , while the ground can hold the 6 kg block up to . Since 24 < 27, the 6 kg block never moves, whatever F is.

(A) wrong: friction on the stationary 6 kg block does zero work. (C) wrong: the 3 kg block slides once F > 24 N. (D) wrong: the ground friction on the 6 kg block only ever equals the inter-block friction (equilibrium).

Ans. (B)
