Correct answer
D
Step-by-step explanation
Assume weight of the block = and friction force = =
For the block to remain stationary with the wall, weight of the block should balanced by the force of friction.
= 0.2 10 = 2 N
For the block to remain stationary with the wall, weight of the block should balanced by the force of friction.
= 0.2 10 = 2 N
