Body is kept on the horizontal tale. If a force is applied, a friction force will be there `frarr` frictioN/Al force `Frarr Applied force

From graph it can be seen that when applied force is zero, friction force is zero.

A body of mass M is kept on a rough horizontal surface (friction coefficient =μ). A person is trying to pull the body by applying a horizontal force but the body is not moving. The force by the horizontal surface on the surface of the body is F, where

A block of mass 2.5 kg is kept on a rough horizontal surface. It is found that the block does not slide if a horizontal force less than 15 N is applied to it. Also it is found that it takes 5 seconds to slide through the first 10 m if a horizontal force of 15 N is applied and the block is gently pushed to start the motion. Taking g=10 m/s^2 , calculate the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the block and the surface.

The unit of coefficient of static friction is
