A horizontal force of 12 kgf pushes a block weighing 5 kgf against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the block is 0.5 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.4. Will the answer change, if the block was initially sliding ?

A block f mass M is held against a rough vertical wall by pressing it with a finger. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is mu and the acceleration due to gravity is g. calculate the minimum force required to be applied by the finger to hold the block against the wall?

Figure 5.18 shows a man standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt that is accelerating with 1 m s^-2 . What is the net force on the man? If the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the belt is 0.2, up to what acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt ? (Mass of the man = 65 kg.)
