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.
