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: $f=y N=\mu i n g$. $f \propto \mu, f \propto m ;$

Below are two statements. One is labeled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other as Reason $(R).$
→Assertion $(A):$ The property of an object that allows it to regain its original shape after the external force applied to it is removed is called elasticity.
Reason $(R):$ The restoring force depends on the intermolecular and interatomic forces in a solid.
In the context of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A sphere of diameter $7\,\, cm$ and mass $266.5 \,\,gm$ floats in a bath of a liquid. As the temperature is raised, the sphere just begins to sink at a temperature $35^o C$. If the density of a liquid at $0^o C$ is $1.527 \,\,gm/cc$, then neglecting the expansion of the sphere, the coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid is$f$ :
