Static friction between two surfaces:

  • A
    Prevents the relative motion between them.
  • B
    Acts opposite to the direction of motion.
  • C
    Acts in the opposite direction of the applied force.
  • D

$A$ block of weight $W$ is held against a vertical wall by applying a horizontal force $F$. The minimum value of $F$ needed to hold the block is $[\mu < 1]$.

$A$ body of mass $10 \ kg$ slides along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction is $1/\sqrt{3}$. Taking $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,the least force which acts at an angle of $30^\circ$ to the horizontal is ...... $N$.

In the figure shown,a block of weight $10 \, N$ is resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is ${\mu _s} = 0.4$. $A$ force of $3.5 \, N$ will keep the block in uniform motion,once it has been set in motion. If a horizontal force of $3 \, N$ is applied to the block,then the block will:
