A book of mass \(0.40~\text{kg}\) rests on a horizontal surface with which it has a coefficient of dynamic friction of \(0.50.\) If this book is now pushed by an external horizontal force of \(10~\text{N}\), what will be its acceleration immediately after it has started to move?
(Assume the gravitational field strength is \(10~\text{Nkg}^{-1}\), that air resistance is negligible and that the orientation of the book does not change.)

A body of mass \(m\) is kept on a rough horizontal surface (coefficient of friction = \(\mu).\) A horizontal force is applied to the body, but it does not move. The resultant of normal reaction and the frictional force acting on the object is given by \(\vec {F}\) where:
1. \(|{\vec {F}}| = mg+\mu mg\)
2. \(|\vec {F}| =\mu mg\)
3. \(|\vec {F}| \le mg\sqrt{1+\mu^2}\)
4. \(|\vec{F}| = mg\)
