Open in App

Solution

Static friction is the force opposing a push or pull on a body, so that it stays in rest. Is a frictional force exerted on bodies at rest.
Limiting friction is the friction at which a body just begins to move but is not quite moving yet.
Kinetic friction is the opposing frictional force on a body which is in motion.
