Question

A small block of mass of 0.1 kg lies on a fixed inclined plane PQ which makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A horizontal force of 1N acts on the block through its centre of mass as shown in the figure. The block remains stationary if (take g = 10 m/s2)

   

θ = 45°

θ < 45° and a frictional force acts on the block towards Q

θ > 45° and a frictional force acts on the block towards P

θ > 45° and a frictional force acts on the block towards Q
