Question

Two blocks of masses 2kg and 4kg are connected by a light string and kept on horizontal surface. A force of 16N is acted on 4kg block horizontally as shown in figure. Besides it is given that coefficient of friction between 4kg and ground is 0.3 and between 2kg block and ground is 0.6. Then frictional force between 2kg block and ground is:

Solution

The correct option is C 4N
As shown in figure above
If we balance forces on 4kg bolck the value of T comes out to be 4N
Fs=12N in case of 4kg block
Now on balancing the forces on 2kg block, Fs =T
Therefore Fs=4N.
