A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. A body of mass M kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is μ, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is:
(N = normal, m = mass of object, a = acceleration of lift)
mg−N=ma
N=ma−mg
(given a=g)
therefore
N=0
friction =u.N
hence friction =u.0 (N=0)
=0
