Question

define cone of friction

Answer 1

a cone in which the resultant force exerted by one flat horizontal surface on another must be located when both surfaces are at rest as determined by the coefficient of static friction

Answer 2

Answer:

• When there are two surfaces that are given and replaced in rest and  there is formation of cone in which one surface that is Flat and horizontal that exert a certain force on another surface which is determined by the co-efficient of friction, then it is known as the cone of friction.
• Friction happens due to the uneven inequalities that remains on a surface these inequalities on one surface connect with the inequalities of another surface when two surfaces move with respect to each other.
• It can be reduced only by decreasing these inequalities by making the surface more flat and smooth.
