Question

A block of mass 1 kg is at rest on a horizontal table. The co-efficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.5. The magnitude of the force acting upwards at an angle of 60 from the horizontal that will just start the block moving is

The correct option is D 202+3N
draw free body diagram of the given problem


Apply the equilibrium of force in vertical direction.
R+Fsin60=mg
R=mg3F2
Find the value of F acting on the block.
If block just starts moving, then the horizontal component of force will be equal to limiting friction
i.e., Fcos60=f=μR
F+3F2=10
F=202+3
