The coefficient of static friction between a block of mass 0.25 kg and a horizontal surface is 0.4. Find the horizontal force applied to it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, coefficient of static friction = 0.4, Mass = 0.25kg
`F = mu_s . N= mu_s .(mg)`
` F = 0.4 xx 0.25 xx 9.8`
F = 0.98 N
