Question

Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 connected by a string are placed gently over a fixed inclined plane such that the tension in the connecting string is initially zero. The coefficient of friction between m1 and inclined plane is μ1 and between m2 and the inclined plane is μ2. The tension in the string shall continue to remain zero if

Solution

The correct option is C μ1>tanα and μ2>tanβ
For zero tension the maximum friction should be greater then downwards sliding force.
SO, μ1mgcosα>mgsinαμ1>tanα
Similarly, μ2>tanβ
