A4kg table pushed to the right with an applied force of 50n. the table has a net acceleration of 10 m/s^2 to the right. what is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the table?

Force of friction is 10 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the table is,

Force acting towards right,

Net acceleration of the table,

Let the force of friction acting on the table to the left be N.

Therefore, net force acting on the table is given as,

Now, as per Newton's second law of motion,

Equating the above two equations, we get

Therefore, the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the table is 10 N to the left direction.
