Question

In Fig.12.1, a boy is shown pushing the box from right to left. The force of friction will act on the box

Philoid · Accepted Answer

In the figure, a boy is pushing the box from right to left, this mans the force of friction will act on the box from left to right.

⇒ The force of friction always opposes the applied force.

⇒ If you apply the force along the left, friction acts along right.

⇒ If you apply the force along the right, friction acts along left.
