A solid rectangular block rests on a thin horizontal surface line. Four force arrows originate from the center of the block and point outward along the principal axes. A vertical arrow points straight upward beyond the top edge of the block, labeled \(F_{\text{Normal}}\). A vertical arrow of equal length points straight downward through the bottom edge and surface, labeled \(F_{\text{gravity}}\). A horizontal arrow points straight to the right beyond the right edge of the block, labeled \(F_{\text{applied}}\). A horizontal arrow of equal length points straight to the left beyond the left edge of the block, labeled \(F_{\text{friction}}\). No other forces, labels, dimensions, or background elements are shown.
