Question

A bar of mass m1 is placed on a plank of mass m2, which rests on a smooth horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces of bar and plank is k. The plank is subjected to a horizontal force F depending on time t as F = at, where a is a constant. The moment of time t0 at which the plank starts sliding relative to bar is

Solution

The correct option is B (m1+m2)kga
amax=μg
so the force at an instant when the slipping starts is
F=(m1+m2)amax=(m1+m2)μg
at0=(m1+m2)μgt0=(m1+m2)kga
