10 kg brick with Dimension 50x 2.5 x 20 cm placed horizontally on the floor. The Static friction is "f". What happens to the static friction when it is placed vertically on the floor?
Answers
Answer:
f
Explanation:
There will be no change in the static friction when the brick is placed vertically on the floor. The Static friction will remain constant.
Explanation:
→ The static friction between two bodies only depends upon the coefficient of static friction (μ) and the normal reaction (N).
→ The static friction (f) between two bodies is given as: f = μN
→ The coefficient of static friction (μ) between two bodies depends upon the nature of the surfaces of the bodies. The coefficient of static friction is independent of the dimensions of the surface of the two bodies in contact.
→ Thus, we can say that the static friction (f) is independent of the dimensions of the surfaces of the two bodies in contact. Static friction only depends upon the nature of two bodies in contact.
→ Therefore the static friction will remain constant even if the brick is placed vertically on the floor as it is independent of the dimensions of the surfaces in contact.
Thus we can say that there will be no change in the static friction when the brick is placed vertically on the floor. The Static friction will remain constant.
