A block of mass `m` is held fixed against a wall by a applying a horizontal force `F`. Which of the following option is incorrect : .A. friction force = mgB. `F` will not produce torqueC. normal will not produce torqueD. normal reaction = F

Answer» Correct Answer - C
This is the equilibrium of coplanar forces. Hence,
`sum F_(x) = 0`
:. `F = N`
:, `sum F_(y) = 0`
`f = mg`
`sum tau_(C) = 0`
:. `vec tau_(N) + vec tau_(f) = 0`
:. Since `vec tau_(f) ne 0` :. `vec tau_(N) ne 0`
:. Correct Answer is `(C)`.
