JEE Main 2015Laws of Motion Question with Solution

JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr)

Question



Given in the figure are two blocks A and B of weight 20 N and 100 N, respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force F and kept in equilibrium as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is 0.1 and between block B and the wall is 0.15, the frictional force applied by the wall on block B is:

Correct answer
D120 N

Step-by-step explanation



For complete state equilibrium of the system. The state friction on the block B by the wall will balance the total weight 120 N of the system.
