A block of mass 0.1 kg is held against a wall applying a horizontal force of 5 N on the block. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.5, the magnitude of the frictional force acting the block is 

a
2.5 N
b
0.98 N
c
4.9 N
d
0.49 N

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Here,  N=F=5 N,μ=0.5,m=0.1 kg∴  fmax=μN=25 NWeight,   w=mg=0.1×9.8=0.98 NSince  w
