Suppose your writing desk is tilted a little. A book kept on it starts sliding down. Show the direction of frictional force acting on it.

Open in App

Solution

Frictional force acts between the book and the surface of the desk once the book starts sliding on the writing desk. Therefore, the direction of frictional force is opposite to the direction of its motion as shown in the figure.
