    A block of weight 5 N is pushed against vertical wall by a force 12 N. The coefficient of friction between the wall and block is 0.6. The magnitude of the force exerted by the wall on the block is  

    A)  12 N               

    B)  5 N

    C)  7.2 N              

    D)  13 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\operatorname{Force} applied = 12 N\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{f}_{\max }}\,\,=\,\mu R\times \,0.6\times 12\,N\,\,=\,\,7.2\,\,N\] This shows that \[{{f}_{\max }}\,>W\] The net contact force is given by \[F=\sqrt{{{R}^{2}}+{{f}^{2}}}=\sqrt{{{12}^{2}}+{{5}^{2}}}\] \[=\,\,\sqrt{144+25}\] \[\operatorname{F}=13\,\,N\]
