Question
Choose one or more correct alternatives.
Which of the forces involved in dragging a heavy object on a smooth, horizontal surface, have the same magnitude?
- The horizontal applied force
- gravitational force
- reaction force in vertical direction
- force of friction

Solution
The gravitational force and the reaction force in the vertical direction have the same magnitude. Friction is not action as the horizontal surface is smooth.
