1.

a boy press horizontally a book against the front wall such that book does not slide down . the force of friction between wall and book is

Answer»

Answer:

f=\mu mg.

Explanation:

Force of FRICTION is the force which opposes the MOTION of the object.

It always acts in the OPPOSITE direction of the motion.

When a book is press horizontally against the front wall, the force of friction is

f=\mu \times R..................(1)

Where R= Normal force of the book which is reaction of book exerted by the weight of the book.

R=mg.............(2)

where m=mass of the book, g=acceleration due to gravity

using (1) and (2) we get

So,force of friction is,

f=\mu mg.
