As we learn

Friction -

Opposing Force which is parallel to the surface and opposite to direction of Relative Motion.

- wherein

Direction of friction is always opposite the direction of Relative Motion.

 

 

fext.=2.5N

Fl = 0.2 * 1 * 9.8 = 1.96N

\because f_{ext}>F_{l}

body will be in moving condition

friction force,

F_{k} = \mu _{k}N = \mu _{k} mg = 0.15 * 1 *9.8 = 1.47N
