4-2.Friction
medium
A body of weight $50 \,N$ placed on a horizontal surface is just moved by a force of $28.2\, N$. The frictional force and the normal reaction are

A
$10 \,N, 15 \,N$
B
$20\, N, 30\, N$
C
$2 \,N, 3 \,N$
D
$5 \,N, 6\, N$
Solution

(b) Frictional force = $f = 28.2\cos 45^\circ $ $ = 28.2 \times \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }} = 20\;N$
Normal reaction $R = 50 – 28.2\sin 45^\circ $$ = 30\;N$
