Two block of masses `M_(1) and M_(2)` are connected with a string passing over a pulley as shown in figure The block `M_(1)` lies on a horizontal surface friction between the block `M_(1)` and the horizontal surface is `mu` The system accelerates. What additional mass `m` should be plased on the block `M_(1)` so that the system does not accelerate ? A. `(M_(2)-M_(1))/(mu)`B. `M_(2)/(mu)-M_(1)`C. `M_(2)-M_(1)/(mu)`D. `(M_(2)-M_(1))mu`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
For the equilibrium of block of mass `M_(1)` :
Frictional force, `f` =tension in the string, `T`
where `T=fmu(m+M_(1))g=m_(3)g`
`T=M_(2)g`
From (i) and (ii) `mu(m+M_(1))g=M_(3)g`
`m=(M_(2))/(mu)-M_(1)` .
