Question

A 40 N block is resting on a rough inclined plane. The static friction between the block and the plane is ____ N.​

Answer 1

The static friction between the block and the plane is $40(\mu_s) \ N$.

The given parameters:

• Weight of the block, W = 40 N

The normal reaction on the rough surface due to weight of the block is calculated as follows;

$F_n = 40 \ N$

The static friction between the block and the plane is calculated as follows;

$F_s = \mu_s F_n$

where;

• $\mu_s$ is coefficient of static friction

Thus, the static friction between the block and the plane is $40(\mu_s) \ N$.
