    Block A of mass of 2 kg is placed over block B of mass 8 kg. The combination is placed over a rough horizontal surface. Coefficient of friction between B and the floor is 0.5. Coefficient of friction between blocks A and B is 0.4. A horizontal force of 10 N is applied on block B. The force of friction between blocks A and B is \[\left( g\text{ }=\text{ }10m{{s}^{-2}} \right)\]

    A)  100 N          

    B)  40 N

    C)  50 N            

    D)  Zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Total mass of blocks A and 5=2+8=10 kg Friction between surface and combination of A and B \[F=\mu R\] \[=0.5\times 10\times 10=50N\] Here applied force on box B is 10 N that is less than 50 N. So the system will be in rest because of this there is no friction between blocks A and B.
