Question

What is limiting friction?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Limiting friction is defined as the greatest value of static friction that occurs whenever a body is almost about to slide across the ground of another object.
  2. The amount of friction applied between two surfaces has been restricted, and motion would happen if the forces acting upon the object are conferred significantly strongly.

Mathematical representation:

Mathematically, limiting friction can be represented as:

F=μN

Here,

μ is the coefficient of limiting friction.

N is the normal force.
