A 2 kg block is placed over a 4 kg block and both are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block is 0.20. Find the acceleration of the two blocks if a horizontal force of 12 N is applied to (a) the upper block, (b) the lower block. Take g = 10 m/s2.
उत्तर
Consider the free body diagram.
(a) For the mass of 2 kg, we have:
R1 − 2g = 0
⇒ R1 = 2 × 10 = 20
2a + 0.2 R1 − 12 = 0
⇒ 2a + 0.2 (20) = 12
⇒ 2a = 12 − 4
⇒ a = 4 m/s2
Now,
4a − μR1 = 0
⇒ 4a = μR1 = 0.2 (20) = 4
⇒ a1 = 1 m/s2
The 2 kg block has acceleration 4 m/s2 and the 4 kg block has acceleration 1 m/s2.
(ii) We have:
R1 = 2g = 20
Ma = μR1 = 0
a = 0
And,
Ma + μmg − F = 0
4a + 0.2 × 2 × 10 − 12 = 0
⇒ 4a + 4 = 12
⇒ 4a = 8
⇒ a = 2 m/s2
