    A body of mass 2 kg is placed on rough horizontal plane. The coefficient of friction between body and plane is 0.2. Then

    A)  body will move in forward direction if F = 5 N

    B)  body will move in backward direction with acceleration 0.5 m/s2, if force F = 3 N

    C)  If F = 3 N then body will be in rest condition

    D)  Both (a) and (b)  are correct

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     For moving die body, applied force should be greater or equal to limiting friction (ie,\[\mu \]N). The limiting friction is                 \[{{f}_{2}}=\mu N\]                 \[=\mu mg\]                 \[=0.2\times 2\times 9.8=3.92\ N\]  Since, applied force F = 5 N, so body starts to move in forward direction.  Here, applied force is lesser than limiting friction. So, body does not move.  If F = 3N, then body will be in rest condition. The reason is same as .
