The two blocks A and B of equal mass are initially in contact when released from rest on the inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the inclined plane and A and B are μ1 and μ2 respectively.(a) If μ1 > μ2, the blocks will always remain in contact. (b) If μ1 < μ2, the blocks will slide down with different accelerations. (c) If μ1 > μ2, the blocks will have a common acceleration 1/2 (μ1 + μ2)gsin θ.(d) If μ1 < μ2, the blocks will have a common acceleration μ1μ2 / μ1 + μ2 sin θ.

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (a, b)

The block with lower value of μ will tend to have greater acceleration down the slope.
