The handle of a floor mop makes an angle `theta ` with the vertical. If `mu_(k) and mu_(s)` be the coefficients of kinetic and static friction between floor and mop, show that if `theta` is smaller than certain value `theta_(0)`, the mop cannot be made to slide over across the floor, no matter how great a force is directed along the handle towards the centre. What is the angle `theta_(0)` ? |

Answer» Correct Answer - `theta_(0)=tan^(-1) mu_(s)` |
