Question

To start motion in an object kept on a surface, we need to apply a force which is ___ the maximum frictional force offered by the surface to the object.

• A. equal to
• B. less than
• C. more than
• D. slightly less than

Answer 1

The correct option is C more than

To start motion in an object kept on a surface, we need to apply a force which is more than the maximum frictional force offered by the surface to the object. When a force even slightly greater than the maximum frictional force is applied on the objet it starts to move.
