### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Static Friction**: Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest when a force is applied to it. It prevents the object from sliding or moving until a certain threshold is reached. 2. **Example 1: Holding a Book**: When a person holds a book in their hands, static friction between the person's hands and the book prevents it from slipping. Without static friction, the book would slide out of their hands. ...
