Consider the situation shown in figure (6-Q1). The wall is smooth but the surfaces of A and B in contact are rough. The friction on B due to A in equilibrium(a) is upward (b) is downward (c) is zero (d) the system cannot remain in equilibrium.

Answer»

(d) the system cannot remain in equilibrium.

Explanation: 

Since the wall is smooth, there is no force to counter the weight of the blocks i.e. sum of forces in vertical direction is not zero, Hence the system cannot remain in equilibrium.
