An eraser weighing 2N is pressed against the black board with a force of 5N. The coefficient of friction is 0.4. How much force parallel to the black board is required to slide the eraser upwards

a
2N
b
2.8N
c
4N
d
4.8N

detailed solution

Correct option is C

F1=fs+mg,    fs=μF here fs=0.4×5 =2N mg= 2N when it moves up both the forces acts downwards so upward force required =4N
