To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the forces acting on the block and determine whether it moves or not. ### Step 1: Identify the forces acting on the block. - The applied force \( F = 10 \, \text{N} \) is acting horizontally. - The weight of the block \( W = mg = 20 \, \text{kg} \times 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 = 200 \, \text{N} \) acts downwards. - The normal force \( N \) acts upwards and is equal to the weight of the block in this case, so \( N = 200 \, \text{N} \). - The frictional force \( f \) opposes the motion and is calculated using the coefficient of friction \( \mu \). ...
