Friction on horizontal surface
Question

In Figure, coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 'μ'. Force F that will move the block on the floor with a uniform speed is

Moderate
Solution

Normal reaction N=mg+Fcosθ
For constant speed Fnet=0FsinθμN=0
Fsinθμ(mg+Fcosθ)=0
F=μmgsinθμcosθ
