A block of mass 2 kg is kept on the floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.4 If a force F of 2.5 N is applied on the block as shown in fig. 

the frictional force between the block and the floor will be

a
2.5 N
b
5 N
c
7.84 N
d
10 N

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The limiting friction is given byμR=μ×mg=0⋅4×2×9⋅8=7⋅84NAs the applied force (2.5 N) is less than the limiting friction, therefore in this case, the friction should be equal to 2.5N itself.
