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

C

100N

D

2N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The block will be stationary so long as mg=f=force of friction`=muR`
`=0.2xx10=2N`
