Question

Why we have to apply large amount of force to make thick book to move on the table

Answer 1

Answer:

We have to apply fairly large amount of force to make the book Move or slide on the table. When the book lying directly on the surface of table moves,then sliding friction comes into play. ... It is much easier to move an object kept on rollers then to slide it because rolling friction is much less than sliding friction.
