Question

A body begins to slide over the surface of another, when pulled with a force of 10 N. If we pull
with a force of 5N, the force of friction that will come into play is

(A) zero (B) 0.5 N
(C) 5 N (D) 50 N

Answer 1

The correct answer is (C) 5 N.

According to the question,

• When 10 N force is applied on the body then it starts moving. So, the limiting friction is 10 N.
• As we have applied only 5 N force which is less than the limiting friction.
• Therefore, the force of friction that will come into play is equal to applied force i.e 5 N.
• Hence, the force of friction come into play is 5 N.

Answer 2

Answer:

5N

Explanation:

Applied force = Frictional Force

Applied force = Frictional ForceApplied force is 5N, so Frictional Force is 5N.
