A cube is pushed in such a way that it is sliding on a horizontal surface. Frictional force acting on the cube can be increased by:
Polishing the outer surface of the cube.
Adding wheels to the cube.
Applying lubricant between the cube and the surface.
Placing another identical cube on top of the cube.
