MCQ
The maximum static frictional force is
- AEqual to twice the area of surface in contact
- ✓Independent of the area of surface in contact
- CEqual to the area of surface in contact
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Independent of the area of surface in contact
b
The maximum static frictional force is independent of the area of surface in contact We know that: $f=y N=\mu i n g$. $f \propto \mu, f \propto m ;$
