Which of the following statements is correct about friction?

A

The coefficient of friction between a given pair of substances is largely independent of the area of contact between them.

B

The frictional force can never exceed the reaction force on the body from the support surface.

C

Rolling friction is only slightly smaller than slidmg friction.

D

The main source of friction is the irregularity of the surfaces in contact.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

The coefficient of friction between a given parir of substance is independent of the area of contact between them.`"mu" gt1` for copper on cast iron. Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction. Irregularity of the surfaces in contact is not a main contributor of riciton.
