Question

# A block of mass $$m=5$$ kg is attached with a mass-less spring of force constant $$k$$. The block is placed over a fixed rough inclined surface for which the coefficient of friction is $$0.75$$. The block of mass $$m$$ is initially at rest. The block of mass $$M$$ is released from rest with spring in un-deformed state. The minimum value of $$M$$ required to move the block up the plane is (neglect mass of string and pulley and friction in pulley.)

A
3 kg
B
4 kg
C
10 kg
D
5 kg

Solution

## The correct option is A 3 kgAs long as the block of mass m remains stationary, the block of mass M released from rest comes down by $$\dfrac{2Mg}{K}$$ (before coming it rest momentarily again).Thus the maximum extension in spring is $$x=\dfrac{2Mg}{K}$$---------(1) for block of mass m to just move up the incline $$kx=mg sin \theta + \mu mg cos \theta$$-----------(2)$$2 Mg = mg \times \dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{3}{4}mg \times \dfrac{4}{5}$$ or $$M=\dfrac{3}{5}m =\dfrac{6}{5}mg= 3 Kg$$Physics
