Question
A block of mass m is kept on a horizontal table. If the static friction coefficient is $\mu,$ find the frictional force acting on the block.

Answer


Body is kept on the horizontal table.
If no force is applied, no frictional force will be there
f → frictional force
F → Applied force
From grap it can be seen that when applied force is zero,
frictional force is zero.
