A block of mass 2 kg rests on a rough inclined plane making an angle of 
with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.7. The frictional force on the block is
A
9.8 N
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Limiting friction 
(approximately)
But when the block is lying on the inclined plane then component of weight down the plane 
It means the body is stationary, so static friction will work on it
Static friction = Applied force = 9.8 N
