Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A wooden block is placed on the rough top surface of a board. The board is then lifted at one end until the block slides down it with constant velocity $v$. What describes the forces acting on the block while it is sliding at constant velocity?

  • AFrictional force on block: down the board; resultant force on block: down the board
  • BFrictional force on block: down the board; resultant force on block: zero
  • CFrictional force on block: up the board; resultant force on block: down the board
  • DFrictional force on block: up the board; resultant force on block: zero
