NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 11

What does the law of static friction state about the maximum static frictional force?

A

It is equal to the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force.

B

It is always greater than the kinetic frictional force.

C

It depends solely on the weight of the object.

D

It is independent of the surfaces in contact.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The law of static friction indicates that the maximum static frictional force (f_s) is less than or equal to the product of the coefficient of static friction (μ_s) and the normal force (N), as stated in the text.
