Mass m1 moves on a slope making an angle θ with the horizontal and is attached to mass m2 by a string passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in Fig. The co-efficient of friction between m1 and the sloping surface is µ. Which of the following statements are true?

(a) If m2 > m1 sin θ , the body will move up the plane.

(b) If m2 > m1 (sin θ + µcos θ) , the body will move up the plane.

(c) If m2 < m1 (sin θ + µcos θ) , the body will move up the plane.

(d) If m2 < m1 (sin θ - µcos θ) , the body will move down the plane..

Answer- b, d

Explanation – as we know f = μ N = μ m 1 g c o s θ

For system m1+m2 to move up

So m2g- (m1gsin θ + f )>0

So m2g- (m1gsin θ + μ m 1 g c o s θ )>0

So m2>m1 (sin θ + μ c o s θ )

But if bodies moves downward

m1gsin θ - f > m 2g

m1gsin> θ + μ m 1 g c o s θ m2g

m21 (sinθ - uCosθ)
