The coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is μ. The block moves towards right under action of horizontal force -F (figure-a). Sometime later another force P is applied to the block making an angle θ (such that tan θ = μ) with vertical as shown in (figure-b). After application of force P, the acceleration of block shall

Detailed Solution
The free body diagram of block in fig. h is as shown.∴ N = mg + P cos θand acceleration of blocka = F+P sin θ-μ(mg+ P cos θ)ma = F+P sin θ-sin θcos θ(mg + P cos θ)m = F-μmgmHence P does not change acceleration.
