Question

State whether the statements are true or false:
Oil is used to reduce the friction on door hinges.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Lubrication is another way to make a surface smoother. A lubricant is a slippery substance designed to reduce the friction between surfaces, Since the door hinges are exposed to the atmosphere the chances of corrosion increases and the surface becomes irregular enough to promote friction. Applying oil on the door hinges can reduce the amount of friction and thus it will decrease it.
