MCQ
The maximum static frictional force is
  • A
    Equal to twice the area of surface in contact
  • Independent of the area of surface in contact
  • C
    Equal to the area of surface in contact
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: B.
Independent of the area of surface in contact
b
The maximum static frictional force is independent of the area of surface in contact We know that: $f=y N=\mu i n g$. $f \propto \mu, f \propto m ;$
