In order for an object to move, the applied force must overcome the force of static friction. The force of static friction increases with the applied force acting in the opposite direction, until it reaches a maximum value and the object just begins to move. All surfaces have a coefficient of static friction of. Its one of the strongest types of friction, and its at work all over the world around you.
Static equilibrium is impossible because the necessary friction force of 483 n is larger than the surface roughness can develop 404 n, so dynamic motion has to occur. Whenever the applied force exceeds the maximum static friction, a body begins to slide. First, let us consider the following simple example. Friction is the contact resistance exerted by one body when the second body moves or tends to move past the first body. Force of the static and the kinetic friction problems.
