Two blocks of iron of different masses are kept on a cemented floor as shown in Fig.12.2. Which one of them would require a larger force to move it from the rest position?


The second block having mass 2 units would require a larger force to move it from the rest position because:

As the mass of the object increases, the force of friction increases.


Hence, second block (mass 2units) will be having more force of friction.


Thus, it need larger force to move the heavier block from the rest position.
