4-2.Friction
medium
A force $\vec{F}=\hat{i}+4 \hat{j}$ acts on the block shown. The force of friction acting on the block is

A
$-\hat{i}$
B
$-18 \hat{i}$
C
$-2.4 \hat{i}$
D
$-3 \hat{i}$
Solution
(a)
Limiting friction $F_L=(0.3)(1)(g)$
$=3 \,N$
$x$-component or horizontal component of force is $=1 \,N$
hence this much of magnitude will act in backward direction due to friction.
