JEE Main 2014 Physics question
A heavy box is to be dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, the person A pushes it at an angle 30° from the horizontal and requires a minimum force , while the person B pulls the box at an angle 60° from the horizontal and needs minimum force . If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is , the ratio is
Answer: (2)
Solution
Pushing downward at 30°: , so .
