(C) 6 m/s2, towards left (D) 16/5 m/s2, towards right

Comprehension-2
Impending state of motion is a critical border line between static and
dynamic states of a body. A block of mass m is supported on a rough
vertical wall by applying a force F as shown in figure. Coefficient of static
friction between block and wall is S. The block under the influence of F
sin may have a tendency to move upward or it may be assumed that F
sin just prevents downward fall of the block. Read the above passage
carefully and answer the following questions.
4. The minimum value of force F required to keep the block stationary is :
mg mg mg mg
(A) (B) (C) (D)
 cos  sin    cos  sin    cos   tan 

5. The value of F for which friction force between the block and the wall is zero.
mg mg mg
(A) mg (B) (C) (D)
sin  cos  tan

6. If F is the force applied on the block as shown and Fmin is the minimum value of force required to keep
the block stationary. Then choose the correct alternative.
(A) If F < Fmin ; the block slides downward
(B) If F = Fmin ; the block slides upward
(C) In each case (for any value of F) the friction force f < mg
(D) All the above
