Question #1
A block of mass 5 kg is pushed against a wall with a horizontal force of 50 N. If coefficient of friction is 0.4, the block
A. Remains at rest
B. Oscillates
C. Falls down
D. Moves up

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Maximum friction = μN = 0.4×50 = 20 N. Weight = 50 N. Friction < weight, so block will fall. Wait, force 50 N horizontal, weight 5×10=50 N. Frictional force upward max 20 N, weight 50 N down, net downward 30 N, so it slides down. So it falls down. Answer A. Let's correct: option A: Falls down. I'll set A.
