A boy of mass M is applying a horizontal force to slide a box of mass M’ on a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the shoes of the boy and the floor is \(\mu\) and that between the box and the floor is \(\mu^{\prime}\). In which of the following cases it is certainly not possible to slide the box?
  1. \(\mu<\mu^{\prime}\), M < M’
  2. \(\mu>\mu^{\prime}\), M < M’
  3. \(\mu<\mu^{\prime}\), M > M’
  4. \(\mu>\mu^{\prime}\), M > M’

Answer

(A) < ^ , M < M’
