    A body of mass M is kept on a rough horizontal surface [friction coefficient =µ). A person is trying to pull the body by applying a horizontal force F but the body is not moving then

    A) \[F=Mg\]

    B) \[F=\mu Mg\]

    C) \[Mg\le F\le Mg\sqrt{1+{{\mu }^{2}}}\]

    D) \[Mg\ge F\ge Mg\sqrt{1+{{\mu }^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Maximum force applied \[F=\sqrt{{{f}^{2}}+{{R}^{2}}},\] where      f = force of friction Since,      \[f=\mu R\] Then,      \[f=\sqrt{{{\mu }^{2}}{{R}^{2}}+{{R}^{2}}}=R\sqrt{{{\mu }^{2}}+1}\] Now, if    \[\mu =0,\]      \[F=R\]s which is minimum force \[\because \]     \[R=mg\] \[\therefore \]  \[Mg\le F\le Mg\sqrt{{{\mu }^{2}}+1}\]
