$A$ block placed on a rough horizontal surface is pulled by a horizontal force $F$. Let $f$ be the force applied by the rough surface on the block. Plot a graph of $f$ versus $F$.

$A$ block of weight $W$ rests on a horizontal floor with coefficient of static friction $\mu$. It is desired to move the block by applying the minimum amount of force. The angle $\theta$ from the horizontal at which the force should be applied and the magnitude of the force $F$ are respectively:

$A$ force $\vec{F} = \hat{i} + 4\hat{j} \text{ N}$ acts on the $1 \text{ kg}$ block shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu = 0.3$. The force of friction acting on the block is:
