Question

While pushing the box from right to left, the direction of frictional force will be:

• A. vertically downwards
• B. from right to left
• C. from left to right
• D. vertically upwards

Answer 1

The correct option is C from left to right

Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion between two objects, and acts at the point of contact between two objects.

Here, when the wooden block is pushed from right to left, frictional force acts from left to right at the point of contact.
