Friction BasicsEasyQuestion 5406

Question

The maximum static friction force is:
  1. A
    Always less than kinetic friction
  2. B
    Equal to μₛN
    Correct
  3. C
    Equal to μₖN
  4. D
    Independent of normal force

Correct answer

Equal to μₛN

Explanation

Maximum (limiting) static friction = μₛN, where μₛ is the coefficient of static friction and N is the normal force.
