A block, kept on ground, requires 10 N of horizontal force to just start moving. If we apply a force of 5 N on the block in horizontal direction, what will be the magnitude of frictional force acting on it?

Q. A block of mass 2 kg is pushed against a rough vertical wall with a force of 40 N, coefficient of static friction being 0.5. Another horizontal force of 15 N, is applied on the block in a direction parallel to the wall. Will the block move? If yes, in which direction? If no, find the frictional force exerted by the wall on the block.
