What happens to the coefficient of friction when weight of the body is doubled?

Open in App

Solution

The coefficient of friction depends only on the surfaces in contact and is independent of the force with which the surfaces are in touch with each other. So, the coefficient of friction remains unchanged even when the weight of the body is doubled.
