The correct options are
A if
μ1=0.5 and
μ2=0.3, then 5
kg block exerts 3
N force on the 3
kg block.
D if
μ1=0.3 and
μ2=0.5, then 5
kg block exerts no force on the 3
kg block.
Case I :
μ1=0.5,μ2=0.3 In this case,
Along the incline, acceleration of 5
kg block will be less than the acceleration of 3
kg block provided they move alone on the incline. The reason is, greater friction coefficient of 5 kg block. The acceleration along the incline is
gsinθ−μgcosθ.
Hence, 5
kg block will apply normal force on 3
kg block. both blocks will move together.
In this case, FBDs of both blocks are shown.
For 5
kg block,
m1gsinθ+N−μ1m1gcosθ=m1a For
3 kg block,
m2gsinθ−N−μ2m2gcosθ=m2a In this case, FBDs of both blocks are shown.
For 5
kg block,
m1gsinθ+N−μ1m1gcosθ=m1a For
3 kg block,
m2gsinθ−N−μ2m2gcosθ=m2a On solving we get, N
=3 N.
Case II:
μ1=0.3,μ2=0.5 In this case, friction on of 5
kg is lesser than the block of 3
kg. So, the acceleration of block of 5
kg will be greater as compari to the 3
kg block. So, they will lose contact of each other and the value of normal force will be zero.
