Force of Friction on Connected Bodies
When bodies are in contact, there are mutual contact forces satisfying the third law of motion. The component of contact force normal to the surfaces in contact is called normal reaction. The component parallel to the surfaces in contact is called friction.
In the above figure, `8 kg and 6 kg` are hanging stationary from a rough pulley and are about to move. They are stationary due to roughness of the pulley.
The tension is more on side having mass of
Options:
(a) 8 kg
(b) 6 kg
(c) Same on both
(d) Nothing can be said
