Question:medium
A 1 kg block is resting on a surface with coefficient of friction \(\mu = 0.1\). A force of 8 N is applied to the block as shown in figure. The friction force is:
A 1 kg block is resting on a surface with coefficient of friction \(\mu = 0.1\). A force of 8 N is applied to the block as shown in figure. The friction force is:
Show Hint
Friction never exceeds \(\mu N\). If applied force is larger, motion occurs but friction remains equal to \(\mu N\).
