Physics Friction Static and Limiting Friction MCQ (Single Correct)

In the figure shown, a block of weight 10 N resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface µ s = 0.4 . A force of 3.5 N will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of 3 N is applied to the block, then the block will

Move over the surface with constant velocity

Move having accelerated motion over the surface

Not move

First it will move with a constant velocity for some time and then will have accelerated motion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct answer is:

i.e. minimum 4 N force is required to start the motion of a body. But applied force is only 3 N. So, the block will not move.
