Q. A sofa remains stationary even after applying some horizontal force. The frictional force is acting on the sofa is ____________ the magnitude of applied force.

A block needs 50 N of force to move it and you are applying 5 N of force on that block in the horizontal direction. So how much frictional force will the surface be applying on the block?

Two blocks of equal masses $m_{1} = m_{2} = 3 k g$ , connected by a light string, are placed on a horizontal surface which is not frictionless. If a force of 20 N is applied in the horizontal direction on a block, the acceleration of each block is $0.5 m s^{- 2}$ . Assuming that the frictional forces on the two blocks are equal, the tension in the string will be

Two blocks of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are placed in contact with each other on a frictionless horizontal surface. If we apply a push of 5 N on the heavier mass, the force on the lighter mass will be
