Static friction is the friction between two objects in contact with each other but it does not result in motion. Suppose you push a block placed on a rough surface. It does not move. The force provided by you is exactly equal to the frictional force provided by the rough surface. If you push a little more harder the opposing frictional force increases accordingly to balance the applied force. This happens until the frictional force value reaches its maximum. Since the two objects are balanced, it is called self adjusted force.

A lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. A body of mass $m$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\,\mu $, then the frictional resistance offered by the body is
A block of mass $m$ is pressed against a vertical surface by a spring of unstretched length $l$ . If the coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu $. Choose the correct statement.
Consider a block kept on an inclined plane (inclined at $45^{\circ}$ ) as shown in the figure. If the force required to just push it up the incline is $2$ times the force required to just prevent it from sliding down, the coefficient of friction between the block and inclined plane $(\mu)$ is equal to
A ball is released from rest from point $P$ of a smooth semi-spherical vessel as shown in figure. The ratio of the centripetal force and normal reaction on the ball at point $Q$ is $A$ while angular position of point $Q$ is $\alpha$ with respect to point $P$. Which of the following graphs represent the correct relation between $A$ and $\alpha$ when ball goes from $Q$ to $R$ ?
A block is kept on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ of length l. The velocity of particle at the bottom of inclined is (the coefficient of friction is $\mu$)
