Q.

A 2kg block is placed over a 4kg block and both are placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.20. The acceleration of the two blocks if a horizontal force of 12N is applied to the upper block (g=10ms–2)

View Answer

Correct choice: D

Explanation:

For 2kg block
12 - μ mg = ma
12 - 0.2 (2) (10) = 2a
8 = 2a
a = 4 ms–2
The 4 kg block moves towards right because of frictional force
f = 4a
0.2 (2) 10 = 4a
a = 1 ms–2
