detailed solution

Correct option is C

fs=μsR=μsmg =4×2×9⋅8=7⋅84NThe applied force is less than the limiting friction force. Hence under the applied force, the block does not move. So long, the block does not move, the adjustable friction force is always equal to the applied force. Thus the frictional force is 2.5 N.
