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.

Academic Physics NCERT Class 8

Friction always acts in a direction opposite to relative motion.

Here since the book is sliding down, the friction should act upwards along the inclined desk.

Suppose your writing table (or desk) is tilted a little. A book kept on the table starts sliding down. Draw a diagram to show the direction of force of friction acting on the book.
A book is lying on the horizontal table top. If we tilt the table a little, then the book starts sliding down slowly. This happens because:(a) sliding friction is greater than static friction(b) sliding friction is less than force of gravity(c) static friction is greater than sliding friction(d) force of gravity is less than sliding friction
What is the direction of force of friction acting on a moving object?
When we pedaling the bicycle it stops because:I. The earth’s gravitational force acts on it II. It is not accelerated III. No unbalanced force acts on it IV. Frictional force acts on it
State the relation between the momentum of a body and the force acting on it.
A body is at rest even though 2N force is acting on it. Explain the reason.
(a) What happens to the work done when the displacement of a body is at right angles to the direction of force acting on it? Explain your answer.(b) A force of $50\ N$ acts on a body and moves it a distance of $4\ m$ on a horizontal surface. Calculate the work done if the direction of force is at an angle of $60^{o}$ to the horizontal surface.
A body acted upon by two forces of 200 N and 3 N,in the same direction. What is the resultant force acting on it?
A gas filled balloon moves up. Is the upward force acting on it larger or smaller than the force of gravity?
Is it possible that some force is acting on a body but still the work done is zero?
When we talk of a force acting on a body, it usually means:$(a)$. electrical force$(b)$. balanced force$(c)$. unbalanced force$(d)$. nuclear force
A truck starts from rest and rolls down a hill with constant acceleration. It travels a distance of 400 m in $20\ s$. Find its acceleration. Find the force acting on it if its mass is $7\ tonnes\ (Hint:\ 1\ tonne = 1000\ kg.)$
An object of weight $200\ N$ is floating in a liquid. What is the magnitude of buoyant force acting on it ?
An object of weight $300\ N$ is floating in a liquid. What is the magnitude of buoyant force acting on it ?
