A block of mass \(m\) rests on a rough horizontal surface. A horizontal force \(F\) is applied to the block. The coefficient of static friction is \(\mu_s\) and the coefficient of dynamic friction is \(\mu_d\). Which statement is correct?

Hint Hint

Hint

Remember that static friction varies to exactly balance the applied force up to its maximum limit \(\mu_s mg\).
