As per your syllabus, the maximum STATIC friction force on a block on a horizontal surface obeys which inequality?
- f_s = μ_k N
- f_s = μ_s g
- f_s ≤ μ_s N
- f_s > μ_s N
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. f_s ≤ μ_s N
Your syllabus: static friction adjusts up to a maximum (f_s)_max = μ_s N. Below applied force F, f_s = F.
