Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A wooden block is placed on a rough board. The far end of the board is then lifted until the block moves down the surface of the board with constant velocity $v$. Which row shows the forces acting on the block while it is sliding at constant velocity?

  • Africtional force on block: down the plane; resultant force on block: down the plane
  • Bfrictional force on block: down the plane; resultant force on block: zero
  • Cfrictional force on block: up the plane; resultant force on block: down the plane
  • Dfrictional force on block: up the plane; resultant force on block: zero
