A 10 kg block sits motionless on a table in spite of an applied horizontal force of 2 N. What are the magnitudes of the reaction force and friction force acting on the block?
1 answer
Since the block is at rest, the net force acting on it is zero. Therefore, the magnitudes of the reaction force and friction force are equal, each equal to the magnitude of the applied force, which is 2 N.
