Question

A block of mass 1 kg is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu = 0.5$. The maximum frictional force acting on the block is ($g = 10	ext{ m/s}^2$):

Accepted Answer

Maximum static friction $fs = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.5 	imes 1	ext{ kg} 	imes 10	ext{ m/s}^2 = 5	ext{ N}$.
