Easy MCQ +4 / -1

Limiting friction between two surfaces primarily depends on:

  1. A the area of contact
  2. B the normal reaction and nature of surfaces Correct answer
  3. C the relative velocity
  4. D mass of the body only

Solution

$f_{lim} = \mu_s N$ — depends on normal reaction and surface roughness, not apparent contact area.
