A block weighing 15N rests on a flat surface and a horizontal force of 3N is exerted on it. Determine the frictional force on the block.

  • A. 0.3N
  • B. 0.5N
  • C. 3.0NCorrect
  • D. 5.0N

Explanation

If stationary, static friction exactly balances the applied force: 3.0N. (Note: this question is a near-duplicate of one found in the FUTO 2013/2014 Type D session in this same PDF set; the same independently-worked answer is used here.)
