Problem

Two blocks P (upper) and Q (lower) are kept one above the other on a smooth horizontal table. A horizontal force F pulls the lower block so that both blocks move together without relative motion. The friction acting at the interface between P and Q is a) 0 (no friction) because the surfaces are not sliding relative to each other0\text{ (no friction) because the surfaces are not sliding relative to each other} b) a pair of static friction forces acting on the two blocks in opposite directions c) a static friction force acting only on the upper block toward the pull\text{a static friction force acting only on the upper block toward the pull} d) a pair of kinetic friction forces acting on the two blocks opposite to their motion\text{a pair of kinetic friction forces acting on the two blocks opposite to their motion}
