A 60 kg body is pushed with just enough force to start it moving across a floor and the same force continues to act afterwards. The coefficient of static friction and sliding friction are 0.5 and 0.4 respectively. The acceleration of the body is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Limiting friction 
Kinetic friction
Force applied on the body
and if the body is moving then, Net accelerating force
Applied force - Kinetic friction
