A horizontal force of 10 N is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall. The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.2. The weight of the block is

a
20 N
b
50 N
c
100 N
d
2 N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let R be the normal contact force by wall on the block.     R=10N     F=w  and  F=μR∴ μR=wor  w=0.2×10=2N
