    In the figure shown a block of weight 10 N is resting on a horizontal surface (figure). The coefficient of static friction between the block and surface is  force of 3.5 N will keep the block in uniform motion, once it has been set in motion. A horizontal force of 3 N is applied to the block then:

    A)  First it will move with a constant velocity for some time and then will have accelerated motion

    B)  the block move having accelerated motion over the surface

    C)  The block move over the surface with a constant velocity

    D)  The block will not move

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since, the force of 3.5 N will keep the block in uniform motion it means no net force will act on the body as the applied force of 3.5 N is just sufficient to overcome the force of friction. If the force applied is less than 3.5 N the block will not move. Hence, when 3N is applied, block will not move.
