JEE Main 2026 · 6 Apr · Shift 1 · Newton's Second Law
Two blocks ( P and Q ) with respectively masses 2 kg and 1.5 kg are joined by a massless thread. These blocks are mounted on a frictionless pully which is fixed on the edge of a cube (S), as shown in the figure below. Block P is positioned on the top surface which has no friction and block Q is in contact with side-surface, having coefficient friction μ. The cube ( S ) moves towards the right with acceleration of 2g, where g is gravitational acceleration. During this movement the block P and Q remain stationary. The value of μ is ____ (take g=10m/s2 )
