Question
For the given figure find the max. Value of mass for which the string will not break
A block of mass m rests on an inclined plane and
is attached by a string to the wall as shown in the
figure. The coefficient of static friction between
the plane and the block is 0.25. The string can
withstand a maximum force of 20 N. The maximum
value of the mass (m) for which the string will not
break and the block will be in static equilibrium is
Take cos 0 = 0.8 and sin 0 = 0.6.
Acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s?
