A horizontal force of 10N is necessary to just hold a block stationary against as well. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.2. The weight of the block is

20N

50N

100N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

The block will be stationary so long as mg=f=force of friction`=muR`
`=0.2xx10=2N`
