Answered & Verified by Expert
Two blocks of masses \( 3 \mathrm{~kg} \) and \( 2 \mathrm{~kg} \) are placed side by side on an incline as shown in figure. A force \( F=20 \mathrm{~N} \) is acting on \( 2 \mathrm{~kg} \) block along the incline. The coefficient of friction between the block and the incline is same and equal to \( 0.1 \). Find the normal contact force exerted by \( 2 \mathrm{~kg} \) block on \( 3 \mathrm{~kg} \) block.

The correct answer is:
\( 12 \mathrm{~N} \)
According to question a force act on the block
Now F.B.D. for block
Where, is normal provided by block
is force of friction
if coefficient of friction
According to newton's second law
Applied in the direction of incline
Here is normal force applied by the incline on block
for block
adding and
We get
given
Now putting the value of acceleration in
We get
