A horizontal force of $10 N$ is acting on the block which doesn't change its motion. Static friction acting on the block is ___newtons.

Open in App

Solution

Given, Force acting $F$ = $10 N$

Since the block is at rest, the net force acting is zero. So frictional force of $10 N$ is acting on the block in the direction opposite to applied force.
