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.
