Question

In figure, two blocks are separated by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block A weighs 400N, block B weighs 300N, and the strut AB weigh 200N. If μ=0.25 under B, determined the minimum coefficient of friction under A to prevent motion.

Solution

The correct option is D 0.4
Consider FBD of structure.
Applying equilibrium equations,
Av+Bv=200N....(i)
AH=BH....(ii)
From FBD of block B,
BH+FBcos60NBsin60=0
NBcos60BV300+FVsin60=0
FB=0.25NB
BH0.74NB=0.....(iii)
BV+0.71NB=300.....(iv)
FBD of block A
FAAH=0.....(v)
NAAV=400
FA=μANA
μANAAH=0.....(vi)
On solving above equations, we get
NA=650N,FA=260N,FA=μANA
μA=260250=0.4.
