Expert Answer
Figure shows a rod AB of length l and mass m is resting on a smooth wall without slipping and rotating.
Figure shows all forces acting on the rod i.e., weight mg acting at centre of gravity, Reaction force N1 at A ,
Reaction force N2 at B and friction force f acting on the point of contact of rod on the floor.
Since rotational motion is absent, sum of moments of all forces is zero.
If we take moment of all forces about about point A, we have,
(mg)(l/2)cosθ = N2 l sinθ or N2 = (1/2) mg cotθ ...............(1)
For equilibrium, sum of vertical forces is zero, hence we have, N1 = mg .............(2)
For equilibrium, sum of horizontal forces is zero, hence we have, N2 = f = μ N1 .............(3)
where μ is friction coefficient between ground and rod.
from eqn.(3), we get, μ = ( N2 / N1 ) ..................(4)
using eqn.(1) and eqn.(2), coefficient of friction μ is obtained from eqn.(4) as,
μ = (1/2) cotθ ........................(5)
