NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question
What does the law of static friction state about the maximum static frictional force?
It is equal to the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force.
It is always greater than the kinetic frictional force.
It depends solely on the weight of the object.
It is independent of the surfaces in contact.
Correct Answer
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.
