From: JEE Main 2021 (Online) 26th February Morning Shift
Question
As shown in the figure, a block of mass kg is kept on a horizontal rough surface of coefficient of friction . The critical force to be applied on the vertical surface as shown at an angle 60 with horizontal such that it does not move, will be 3x. The value of x will be _________.
[g = 10 m/s2; sin60 = ; cos60 = ]

[g = 10 m/s2; sin60 = ; cos60 = ]

This question includes a diagram. The text above accompanies the figure.

Correct answer
3.33
Step-by-step explanation
N = Mg + Fsin60
N =
For No slipping
Fcos60 = Friction
4F = 4g
F = 10
F = 3x
x = = = 3.33
x = 3.33
