The figure shows a man of mass \(65\) kg standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt that is accelerating with \(1\) ms-2. If the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the belt is \(0.2,\) up to what acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? (Take \(g=10\) m/s2)
1. | \(2\) ms-2 | 2. | \(3\) ms-2 |
3. | \(1\) ms-2 | 4. | \(9.8\) ms-2 |
Lowest point | Highest point | |
1. | \(mg-T_1\) | \(mg+T_2\) |

3. | ||
4. |
(\(T_1\) and \(v_1\) denote the tension and speed at the lowest point. \(T_2\) and \(v_2\) denote corresponding values at the highest point.)
