NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A block of mass 5 kg is placed on a horizontal surface. The maximum static frictional force between the block and the surface is 30 N. What is the coefficient of static friction?

A

0.6

B

0.5

C

0.4

D

0.3

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The maximum static frictional force is given by f_s = μ_s * N where N = mg. Here, N = 5 * 9.8 = 49 N. Solving 30 = μ_s * 49 gives μ_s = 0.6.
