State the laws of static friction. |
|
Answer» Laws of static friction : 1. First law : The limiting force of static friction (FL) is directly proportional to the normal reaction (N) between the two surfaces in contact. FL ∝ N ∴ FL = µsN where, µs = constant called coefficient of static friction. 2. Second law : The limiting force of friction is independent of the apparent area between the surfaces in contact, so long as the normal reaction remains the same. 3. Third law : The limiting force of friction depends upon materials in contact and the nature of their surfaces. |
