A particle rests in equilibrium on a rough horizontal plane. A horizontal force of magnitude 6 N is applied to the particle and the particle does not move.
The maximum possible frictional force between the particle and the plane is 10 N.
State the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the particle.
Tick one box.
