A body of mass 2 ~kg is placed on a horizontal surface having kinetic friction 0.4 and static friction 0.5 . If the force applied on the body is 2.5 ~N , then the frictional force acting on the body will be [ g =10 ~ms ⁻² ]
Options
- A8 ~N
- B10 ~N
- C20 ~N
- D2.5 ~N
Correct answer
D. 2.5 ~N
Step-by-step solution
Limiting friction =0.5 2 10=10 ~N The applied force is less than force of friction, therefore the force of friction is equal to the applied force.
