A body of mass 60 kg is dragged with just enough force to start moving on a rough surface with coefficient of static and kinetic frictions `0.5` and `0.4` respectively . On applying the same force , what is the acceleration ?A. `0.98 m//s^(2)`B. `9.8 m//s^(2)`C. `0.54 m// s^(2)`D. `5.292 m//s^(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
ma = `f_(s) - f_(k) = (mu_(s) "mg" - mu_(k) "mg")`
`(mu_(s) - mu_(k)) "mg"`
`therefore " " a = (mu_(s) - mu_(k) )g = (0.5 - 0.4 ) xx 9.8 = 0.98 m//s^(2)`
