block of mass 0-1 kg is held against a wall by applying a horizontal force of 5 N on the block. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the mass is 0.5, the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is :

Answer»

0.98 N
0.49 N
4.9 N
2.5 N

Solution :Force of limiting FRICTION
`F_(f)= muR = 0.5 xx 5 = 2.5 N`
` wt. of block = mg = 0.1 xx 9.8 = 0.98N`
As weight is less than limiting friction ::. block does not move
:. FRICTIONAL force = wt. of block = 0.98 N

Hence correct CHOICE is (a).
