A block needs $50 N$ of force to move and you are applying $5 N$ of force on that block in the horizontal direction. The frictional force acting on the block is ___ newtons.

Solution

The total force needed to move the block is $50 N$ but, when you are applying $5 N$ of force on the block to make it move, the ground will apply same force which is just sufficient to oppose the motion of the block i.e. $5 N$ .
