The coefficient of friction between the 1.5 Kg block and the wall is 0.6. The block remains in equilibrium when a horizontal force of 30 N is applied on it. Then the frictional force acting on the block is 

a
15 N
b
18 N
c
12 N
d
9 N

detailed solution

Correct option is A

N = Normal reaction of wall = 30 N∴ fmax=μN=0.6×30 W=18 NWeight of the block =1.5×10N=15 NSince fmax>mg, frictional force acting on the block is 15 N.
