Problem

A plank of mass 2 kg and length 1 m is placed on horizontal floor. A small block of mass 1 kg is placed on top of the plank, at its right extreme end. The coefficient of friction between plank and floor is 0.5 and that between plank and block is 0.2. If a horizontal force = 30 N starts acting on the plank to the right, the time after which the block will fall off the plank is ( g=10 ms−2g = 10 \text{ ms}^{-2} ) a. (23) s\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) \text{ s} b. 1.5 s c. 0.75 s d. (43) s\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) \text{ s}
