Two blocks m1 and m2 are resting on a rough inclined plane of inclination 37∘ as shown in figure. The contact force between the blocks is (m1=4kg,m2=2kg,μ1=0.8,μ2=0.5,g=10m/s2,sin37∘=35)

Solution
The correct option is D Zero For a mass sliding down on a inclined plane , we know that ⇒a = g sinθ−μg cosθ. Hence acceleration depends on the coefficient of friction , As μ1>μ2⇒a1<a2. (directly from the equation we can say) Hence the acceleration of m2 is greater than that of m1. Hence, there will not be any contact. So, N = 0
