The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the direction of the force of friction acting on a big wooden box being pushed from east to west, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Direction of Motion**: - The box is being pushed from east to west. This means that the applied force is directed towards the west. 2. **Understand the Nature of Friction**: - Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. It acts in the opposite direction to the applied force. 3. **Determine the Direction of Friction**: - Since the box is moving towards the west (the direction of the applied force), the friction force will act in the opposite direction, which is towards the east. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the force of friction due to the ground will act on the box towards the east. ### Final Answer: The force of friction due to the ground will act on the box towards the east. ---

A man of mass 80kg pushes box of mass 20kg horizontaly. The man moves the box with a constant acceleration of 2 m//s^(2) but his foot does not slip on the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. There is no friction between the box and the ground. whereas there is sufficient friction between the man's foot and the ground to prevent him from slipping. Assertion:- The force applied by the man on the box is equal and opposite to the force applied by the force applid by the box on the man. Reason:- Friction force applied by the ground on the man is 200N.

A box of mass M is at rest on a horizontal surface. A boy of mass m (lt M) wants to push the box by applying a horizontal force on it. The boy knows that he will not be able to push the box as the coefficient of friction mu between his shoes and ground is almost equal to that between the box and the ground. He decides to run, acquire a speed u and then bang into the box. After hitting the box, the boy keeps pushing as hard as possible. What is the maximum distance through which the box can be displaced this way ?
