Lesson: Chapter 5 — Friction

5.3. What limiting friction depends on 1 of 9

Question 1

Which of the following does not affect the limiting friction between two surfaces?

The right answer is the one marked above.

The area of the contact surfaces. Activity 03 showed it: whichever face of the block was placed on the table, the limiting friction came out the same.

The weight does affect it, but only through the normal reaction — heavier object, larger R, larger limiting friction.

Answer the question to continue.
