Solution

The correct option is B

3kg, 0.75


Let assume the mass of the particle be m. let us draw the free body diagram of the system of sphere and particle. Since system is in static equilibrium, therefore, torque of forces acting on the system should be zero.

Taking torque about point P of all of the forces acting on the system,

R(Mg sin 37)+(Mg sin 37)R=(Mg cos 37)R m=3kg

Considering forces normal the plane, N = Mg cos 37 + mg cos 37 = 32 N

The friction force between sphere and plane is static nature, Now considering forces along the plane,

f= mg sin 37 + mg sin 37 = 24 N

But f μN where μ is coefficient of friction, which gives μfN or μmin = 0.75.
