Mechanical Engineering > GATE 2016 SET-1 > Statics
A block of mass m rests on an inclined plane and is attached by a string to the wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the plane and the block is 0.25. The string can withstand a maximum force of 20 N. The maximum value of the mass (m) for which the string will not break and the block will be in static equilibrium is ________ kg. Take cosθ=0.8 and sinθ=0.6. Acceleration due to gravity g = 10 m/s2.

Correct : 5
