Supplement


This should be cake...

A brick is kept on a rough inclined plane. Consider the net normal reactions on part A and B of the brick to be 'N' and 'N*'. (A and B are two equal portions)
Then


a)N > N*
b)N < N*
c)N = N*
d)We need the angle of the plane and coeff. of friction to comment...

Anyone interested?? Plz post only the option..not the soln..
This should be fun!

  3. goyal saab..you're missing something!!!

  4. So you got it.. the friction produces a clockwise torque which must be balanced by an anticlock. torque..obviously due to non-uniformity of normal reaction!

  5. ya its b only made a little mistake
    dammit man

  6. bhaiya cant we get the ans without balancing the torque
    plz tell

  7. i think than it will be c in case of a smooth plane

  8. i cant understand the explanation of option b please explain it sir

  9. here there is friction for both blocks then why option B

  10. wait fr bhaiya to post soln

    this is how i did it
    first i analyzed the body as a whole,balanced torques,got that "net" normal force acts on the body somewhere at lower part

    PS : "net" normal force is a group of many normal forces acting at evry point in contact with plane

    don't consider it to be 2 blocks it is 1solid brick. so friction is acting producing a torque. now normal rxn will shift towards B to balance it.

  13. therefore is NORMAL REACTION ON BLOCK A IS ZERO??????????????????

  15. no yaar
    actually the arrow which we show in the diagram is the resultant of all the small arrows.(vectors)
    but when they have to balance the torque their net magnitude though remain the same but their distribution on the 2 sides decrease.
    I dont clearly remember but physics sir in a class of LAWS OF MOTION madu us do a question of toppling. In that he drew the small normal reaction arrows whose magnitude were constantly changing.

  16. may i add??
    The resultant of a number of forces is a force with the following properties:

    1)Its magnitude is equal to the resultant magnitude of all the forces involved.

    2)Its torque abt. any pt. in the universe is the resultant torque of all forces.
