A block of mass 0.1 kg is kept pressed onto a wall by applying a horizontal force of 5 N. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.5, find the force of friction on the block.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Downward force on the block = weight of the block = mg = `0.1xx9.8` = 0.98 N
Since the block is at rest the downward force must be balanced by the upward frictional force.
`:.` Frictional force on the block = 0.98 N.
