Friction CoefficientEasyQuestion 30208

Question

The coefficient of static friction is generally:
  1. A
    Less than coefficient of kinetic friction
  2. B
    Equal to coefficient of kinetic friction
  3. C
    Greater than coefficient of kinetic friction
    Correct
  4. D
    Independent of normal force

Correct answer

Greater than coefficient of kinetic friction

Explanation

Static friction (maximum) ≥ kinetic friction for the same surfaces. Hence μₛ ≥ μₖ.
