Friction on horizontal surface
Question

In this figure what force(F) should be applied on mass m = 5kg so that it just won't slip is (Given that car is moving with constant acceleration a = 5 m/s2 and µ = 0.4)

Moderate
Solution

\large ma+N=F\Rightarrow N=F-ma\; \& \mu N=mg
\large \mu(F-5\times5)=5\times10
\large F=\frac {5\times10\times10}{4}+25=150N
