Class 11PhysicsNewton's Laws of Motion and FrictionStatic and Limiting Friction and Minimum Force Required to Move
Medium$A$ block placed on a rough horizontal surface is pulled by a horizontal force $F$. Let $f$ be the force applied by the rough surface on the block. Plot a graph of $f$ versus $F$.
(N/A) The graph of frictional force $f$ versus applied force $F$ is shown in the figure.
$1$. The part $OB$ of the graph represents the static friction region. In this region,the frictional force is a self-adjusting force,meaning $f = F$. The slope of this line is $1$.
$2$. Point $B$ represents the limiting friction,which is the maximum value of static friction $(f_{s,max})$.
$3$. Once the applied force exceeds the limiting friction,the block starts moving. The region $CD$ represents kinetic friction $(f_k)$. Kinetic friction is generally constant and slightly less than the maximum static friction.

View Solution$A$ heavy box is to be dragged along a rough horizontal floor. Person $A$ pushes it at an angle of $30^\circ$ from the horizontal and requires a minimum force $F_A$. Person $B$ pulls the box at an angle of $60^\circ$ from the horizontal and needs a minimum force $F_B$. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is $\mu = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}$,find the ratio $\frac{F_A}{F_B}$.
