Question

Can the coefficient of friction be more than one?

Open in App

Solution

Cofficient of Friction is the value which shows relation between frictional force andnormal force. μ is completely experimental

F = μN

A coefficient of friction that is more than one just means that friction is stronger than the normal force.

An object such as silicon rubber, for example, can have a coefficient of friction much greater than one.
