When friction is acting in the direction of P, in which direction do you think the force is applied?

A

P

B

Q

C

R

D

S

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The force of friction acts opposite to the direction of applied force. Since, friction is acting along P, so the force must have been applied in the direction of R.

What is friction? In which direction does it apply?

If several forces act in different direction on a body, in which direction will the body move?

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

What happens when force is applied in the direction of motion?

A block of mass m rests on a horizontal floor for which coefficient of friction is mu . Find the magnitude and the direction of force that should be applied to just move the block so that the applied force is minimum.
