Q no 4. A block of mass 2 kg is placed on the floor. The coefficient of static friction between the two surfaces is 0.4. A horizontal force of 2.5 N is applied on the block as shown. The force of friction between the block and the floor is
(A) 7.84 N
(B) 2.50 N
(C) 6.45 N
(D) 13.34 N

Dear student,

Maximum static frictional force=μmgfmax=0.4×2×9.8=7.84NSince the applied force is less than the frictional force,the frictional force is equal to the applied force= 2.5NThis is due the reason that frictional force is self adjusting force.

2.50N is answer as marked becaise horizontal push on block is 2.5N so friction on ground to oppose it will also be same i.e. 2.50N.
