We have, coefficient of static friction, µs = 0.4

Mass, m = 2 kg

Force applied, F = 2.5 N

Maximum static frictional force, fmax= µs × m × g = 0.4 × 2 × 9.8

=> fmax = 7.84 N

Since, the applied force is less than the maximum static frictional force, the frictional force on the block is equal to the applied force = 2.5 N. This is according to the fact that static friction is a self adjusting force.

The length of a massless rod is measured using vernier callipers having 10 vernier scale divisions and least count of 0.1 mm. Two masses 1.00 ± 0.01 kg and 4.00 ± 0.02 kg are attached to its ends. If reading of vernier scale is 5 divisions coinciding with 1.3 cm, what is the % error in locating centre of mass from lighter mass
