Q. Two blocks are held against a wall at equilibrium. If all surfaces have friction, then the direction of friction from the wall on block B .

Q. A block of mass

2 k g

is pushed normally against a rough vertical wall with a force of

40 N

, co-efficient 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 and with what minimum acceleration? If no, find the friction force exerted by the wall on the block.)
