4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
medium
Block $A$ of mass $4 \;kg$ is to be kept at rest against a smooth vertical wall by applying a force $F$ as shown in figure. The force required is .......... $N$ $\left(g=10 m / s ^2\right)$

A
$40 \sqrt{2}$
B
$20 \sqrt{2}$
C
$10 \sqrt{2}$
D
$15 \sqrt{2}$
Solution
(a)
so in vertical; for equilibrium
$F \sin 45^{\circ} =m g=40$
$\Rightarrow f=\frac{40}{\sin 45^{\circ}}=40 \sqrt{2}\,N$
