The limiting friction of a body independent of its ……………………

Open in App

Solution

The force of limiting friction depends upon the nature of surfaces in contact with each other and on the surface condition (polish, rough).
The force of limiting friction is directly proportional to normal reaction, as long as the nature of the surface remains the same.
Limiting friction is independent of the area of contact.
