Solution

Problem 21MCQ

The wood block in Figure Q5.22 is at rest on a wood ramp. In which direction is the static friction force on block 1?

A. Up the slope.

B. Down the slope.

C. The friction force is zero.

D. There’s not enough information to tell.

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 2

Since we don't have any information about the values of the masses of the wooden blocks, it is difficult to anticipate the direction of motion of the wooden block.
