A block of mass 1 kg lies on a horizontal surface in a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.6 If the acceleration of the truck is 5 m/s 2 , the frictional force acting on the block is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Solving from the frame of truck
f ≤ μ mg = 6
⇒ f = 5N.
