The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between a body of mass m=1 unit and the surface are .75 and .50 respectively. A force is applied to the body to maintain constant acceleration when the body is in motion. This constant force is:

Solution
The correct option is Bg/2 Minimum force with which body will just move = μsmg After the body start moving frictional force becomes = μkmg So F=μkmg or F=g/2
