प्रश्न
Suppose your writing desk is tilted a little. A book kept on it starts sliding down. Show the direction of frictional force acting on it.
उत्तर
When a book slides on the writing desk, a frictional force acts between the book and the surface of the desk. The direction of the frictional force on the book is opposite to the direction of its motion and acts upward, as shown in the following figure.
