FRICTION
Problems based on block Friction on Horizontal Plane
Q. LA block weighting 100 kN is placed on rough horizontal plane. A pull force of 40 kN is applied at
an angle 30° on it. if the block is just on the point of moving, find the coefficient of friction.
(Dee 2017)
P=40kN
Ans: [t= 0.433
Q. 2A block of weight 200 N rests on a horizontal surface. The co-efficient of friction between the
block and the horizontal surface is 0.4, Find the frictional force acting on the block if s horizontal
force of 40 N is applied to the block. (Dee 2009)
