Solution

Correct Answer:

30 N

  1. Normal Force: The wall pushes back horizontally with N.
  2. Downward Force: Object's weight N.
  3. Available Friction: N.
  4. Comparison: The downward active force ( N) is equal to or less than the maximum possible friction ( N).
  5. Result: Since it is the static case, friction matches the weight to maintain equilibrium. Force acting is 30 N.

This hard difficulty physics question is from the chapter laws of motion, covering the topic of force analysis. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
