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.

A block , weighing 25.51 kg, was pulled with uniform velocity along a horizontal plane through a distance of 10 m . What is the work done by the force if the coefficient of sliding friction between the block and the plane is 0.2 and the applied force makes an angle of 60^@ with the vertical ?
