Questions  

A body of mass M is kept on a rough horizontal surface (friction coefficient μ ). A person is trying to pull the body by applying a horizontal force, but the body is not moving. The force by the surface on the body is F, where

a
F=Mg
b
F=μMgf
c
Mg≤F≤Mg1+μ2
d
Mg≥F≥Mg1+μ2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Maximum force by surface when friction works F=f2+R2=(μR)2+R2=Rμ2+1Minimum force   when there is no friction Hence ranging from R to  Rμ2+1We get,  Mg≤F≤Mgμ2+1
