(c) 3g (d) (c) A is false but B is true

(d) both A and B are false
AP EAMCET(Medical)-2009 AP EAMCET(Medical)-2001
Ans. (d) : The pseudo force developed the normal force Ans. (b) : A is true because frictional force increases
on smaller block. when we push a body at an angle because one
component of force increases the normal force. While B
is false because the normal force acting on a body
sliding down an inclined plane is mgcosθ but
component along the inclined plane is mgsinθ. Also, by
the angle of friction, tanθ = µ
Therefore the weight component along the inclined
plane and the friction force will be equal. So, the body
would not accelerate, (a =0).
Thus, option (b) is correct.
