Option 4 : 8.83 N
Concept:
Friction: The property of a surface that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces is called friction.
m1 = m2 = 1 kg; μ = 0.3;
Let N1 = Reaction between the 1st book and the 2nd book.
N1 = mg = 1 × g = g
N2 = Reaction between the second book and the ground.
N2 = 2mg = 2 × 1 × g = 2g
Static friction force
f = μ N1 + μ N2
f = μg + 2μg
f = 3μg
For the motion to occur between the books, external force F must be greater than the static friction force
F > f
F > 3μg
F > 3 × 0.3 × 9.81
F > 8.829
F = 8.83 N
