Which offers more friction on a body: a glass surface or a wooden surface?

Open in App

Solution

Higher the roughness of surfaces in contact with each other, greater is the friction between bodies. Force of friction will be less between smooth surfaces. Since, a wooden surface has more roughness compared to a glass surface, the body will experience greater frictional force on the wooden surface.
