Ravi pushed a wooden block across a floor with a force of 10 N. The block did not move.<br><br>Which of the following statements is true about the frictional force between the block and the floor?

A The frictional force was equal to 10 N.
B The frictional force was less than 10 N.
C There was no frictional force acting on the block.
D The frictional force was greater than 10 N.

Worked Solution

Step 1: The block remained stationary (equilibrium). Step 2: The net force acting on the block must be zero. Step 3: Therefore, the frictional force opposing the push must be equal and opposite to the 10 N applied force.

Correct answer: The frictional force was equal to 10 N.
