A force barF=hati+4hatj acts on block shown. The force of friction acting on the block is :

In which direction the force of friction acts? What if object does not move?

Assertion : The force of tension on a body always act away from the body. Reason: Friction force always opposes the motion of a body.

Assertion : Friction always opposes the motion. Reason : Whenever one surface moves or tries to move over another surface, the force of friction starts acting on the surfaces.

In the figure shown, force of friction on A from B will always be right wards Friction always opposes the relative motion between two bodies in contact.
