A body of mass 2 kg at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the body and the table is `0.3` . A force of 5N is applied on the body. The force of friction is

A

5N

B

`5.88N`

C

6N

D

20N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

We know that friction is a self-adjusting force. Since the applied force is less than limiting friction, therefore the force of friction is equal to the applied force i.e., `5N` .
