Solution
Force can change the static condition of a body.
- A rest rubber ball begins to move when a force applied to it.
- The player applies a force on the stationary football while taking a penalty kick in a football match. The force applied by the player makes the football move towards the goal.

The adjacent diagram shows a heavy roller, with its axle at O, which is to be raised on a pavement XY. If there is friction between the roller and pavement, show by an arrow on the diagram the point of application and the direction of force to be applied. If pivoted at O, now will it go up?
The force of friction always acts ______ the motion.
