A horizontal force of `1.2kg` is applied on a `1.5kg` block, which rests on a horizontal surface If the coefficient of friction is `0.3` find the acceleration produced in the block.

Answer» Correct Answer - `4.9ms^(-2)`
Here, `P = 1.2kg = 1.2 xx 9.8 N`
`m = 1.5kg, mu = 0.3, a =`?
Force of friction `F = muR = mu mg`
`=0.3 xx 1.5 xx 9.8 N = 0.45 xx 9.8 N`
`:.` force that produces acceleration
`f = P - F = 1.2 xx 9.8 - 0.45 xx 9.8`
`= 9.8 (1.2 - 0.45) = 9.8 xx 0.75 N`
`a = (f)/(m) = (9.8 xx 0.75)/(1.5) = 4.9 ms^(-2)` .
