Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of 60° with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is (take g = 10 m/s²)

A

100 N

B

100√3 N

C

200 N

D

200√3 N

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation
