A body of mass m is kept on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction 
). Horizontal force is applied on the body but it does not move. The resultant of normal reaction and the frictional force acting on the object is given F, where F is [NEET 2019]
A
B
C
F 
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The situation can be drawn as
The frictional force,
From free body diagram, the resultant force is
This is the minimum force required to move the object. But. as the body is not moving.
