_______ is a self adjusting force.

Open in App
Solution

Force of friction.
Friction is considered as a self adjusting force because it wants the object to remain at rest and not move. Thus if an external force is applied the static friction force will equal the magnitude of the external force, until it surpasses the threshold of the motion.
