PHY 101 Friction Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What is the formula for the maximum value of static friction?
Options
A f_s,max = μ_k F_N
B f_s,max = μ_s F_N
Correct Answer
C f_s,max = F_N / μ_s
D f_s,max = μ_s / F_N
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The lecture explicitly states that the maximum value of static friction f_s,max is given by μ_s F_N, where μ_s is the coefficient of static friction and F_N is the normal force.

Hint

This is the threshold force that must be overcome to start motion.
