Question

If the sliding friction between two surfaces is found to be 8 N, then the static friction between these two surfaces is most likely to be:
A. 5 N
B. 10 N
C. 4 N
D. 2 N

Answer 1

B. 10 N

Explanation:

Friction is a phenomenon which resists motion when an object is rubbed against another. Static friction is between two objects that are not moving. Sliding friction is between two objects when one or both are sliding against each other. Sliding friction is lesser than static friction. Rolling friction is between two objects where one or both of the surface is circular. Rolling friction is less than sliding friction.

So static friction should be greater than the sliding friction of 8N.

Option B is the answer.
