Question

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

Answer 1

Coefficient of friction:

1. The coefficient of friction is defined as the relationship between the maximum resisting force parallel to the contact surface and the forces pressing them together.
2. The coefficient of friction varies depending on whether or not the body is moving.
3. It is also affected by the nature of the surface.
4. As a result, doubling the weight has no effect on the coefficient of friction.
