NEET Physics Friction MCQ Question
What does the law of static friction state about the maximum force of static friction?
It is equal to the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the normal force.
It is always greater than the applied force.
It depends only on the mass of the object.
It is independent of the surface in contact.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The law of static friction states that the maximum force of static friction (f_s) is less than or equal to the product of the coefficient of static friction (μ_s) and the normal force (N). This is reflected in the equation f_s ≤ μ_s N.
