Question

Rohan tries to push a box on a rough floor but is unable to move it. Name the force which
balances the force applied by him

Answer 1

Frictional Force balanced the force applied by Rohan:

1) Instead of applying the force, Rohan was unable to move the box because of a static frictional force opposing the force applied by him in the opposite direction.

2) The Static frictional force is a force that keeps the body in static positions and nullifies all the effects of the force applied on the object.
