Step 1
The normal force (N) is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the perpendicular component of the weight. The force of static friction (fs) acts parallel to the incline and opposes the motion of the block. The maximum value of static friction is given by Show more…

A 10-kg block A rests of block B, which in turn rests on an inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of friction between all surfaces is 0.12. Determine the maximum mass of block B for which sliding will not occur in the system.

The minimum force required to pull a mass of $10 \mathrm{~kg}$ kept on a horizontal rough surface (coefficient of friction : $\mu$ ) is 60 N. On a rough inclined plane having same $\mu$ value and variable inclination angle, the angle of repose is $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$ (a) $30^{\circ}$ (b) $45^{\circ}$ (c) $\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{6}$ (d) $37^{\circ}$
