A horizontal force of 10N is necessary to just hold a block stationary against as well. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.2. The weight of the block is

(a) 20N

(b) 50N

(d) 2N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

For the block to remain stationary with the wall
`f=W` `:.` `muN=W`

`0.2xx10=WimpliesW=2N`
