Mining Engineering > GATE 2026 > Friction - Blocks and Pulleys
Two blocks P and Q weighing 100 kN and 200 kN, respectively, are connected by a string passing through a massless and frictionless pulley fixed to a wall as shown, with P resting on top of Q. The friction coefficient between blocks P and Q is 0.4, and that between block Q and surface is 0.3. The minimum force, F, in kN, required to pull the block Q, is _______________. (answer in integer)
