Share:
- 1When the applied force is less than the limiting friction, the body remains at rest.
- 2The force of friction depends heavily upon the apparent area of contact between the two surfaces.✓
- 3The force of static friction is a self-adjusting force; its magnitude is exactly equal and opposite to the applied force, which tends to produce motion.
- 4If the surfaces are dry (not lubricated), then friction between surfaces is known as solid friction.
Correct answer
The force of friction depends heavily upon the apparent area of contact between the two surfaces.
