In the shown arrangement,the mass of $A = 1\,kg$ and the mass of $B = 2\,kg$. The coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu = 0.2$. There is no friction between $B$ and the ground. $A$ horizontal force $F = 5\,N$ is applied to block $B$. The frictional force exerted by $A$ on $B$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{3}\,N$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{8}\,N$
  • C
    $5\,N$
  • D
    None
