Question Number 21564 by Tinkutara last updated on 27/Sep/17
A block of mass M is placed on smooth  ground. Its upper surface is smooth and  vertical surface is rough with coefficient  of friction μ. A block of mass m_1  is placed  on its horizontal surface and tied with  a massless inextensible string passing  over smooth pulley. Its other end is  connected to another block of mass m_2 ,  which touches the vertical surface of  block M. Now a horizontal force F  starts acting on it.  Q1. Which of the following is incorrect  about above system?  (1) There exists a value of F at which  friction force is equal to zero  (2) When F = 0, the blocks cannot  remain stationary  (3) There exists two limiting values of  F at which the blocks m_1  and m_2  will  remain stationary w.r.t. block of mass  M  (4) The limiting friction between m_2   and M is independent of F  Q2. In the above case, let m_1  − μm_2  be  greater than 1. Choose the incorrect  value of F for which the blocks m_1  and  m_2  remain stationary with respect to  M  (1) (M + m_1  + m_2 )((m_2 g)/m_1 )  (2) ((m_2 (M + m_1  + m_2 ))/((m_1  − μm_2 )))g  (3) (((M + m_1  + m_2 )m_2 g)/((m_1  + μm_2 )))  (4) (M + m_1  + m_2 )(g/μ)  Q3. Let vertical part of block M be  smooth. Choose the correct alternative  (1) There exist two limiting values for  system to remain relatively at rest  (2) For one unique value of F, the blocks  m_1  and m_2  remain stationary with  respect to block M  (3) The blocks m_1  and m_2  cannot be in  equilibrium for any value of F  (4) There exists a range of mass M, for  which system remains stationary
