A block of mass 2 kg is placed on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4. A force F of 2.5 N is applied on the block. Calculate the force of friction between the block and the floor.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Applied force is smaller than the friction force, then the block will not move, because static friction is self adjusting so, it will be equal to 2.5 N
